Meet SDA's Administrative Team
Bessma Garmo | Cara Dolnik | Charles Adams | Jaime Garman |
I am deeply honored and proud to be part of the SDA family. It is a testament to the belief in the power of education to transform lives. I am committed to giving 100 percent each day to help elevate those around me, just as I was once elevated by the educators who believed in me and helped bring out my full potential.
Given my 25-year career in education; 20 years as a math teacher and 5 years as an administrator (assistant principal, Vista Unified School District, Principal at Cajon Valley School District and Interim principal at Grossmont Union high school district, I am fully aware of the responsibility that comes with being an Assistant Principal. I am ready and determined to lead, support, and inspire thousands of students and hundreds of staff members. Together, we will continue to uphold the standards of excellence that San Dieguito Academy is known for.

As an educator, I am celebrating my 25th year, beginning my career as a high school math teacher then moving to site administration at both the high school and middle school level for the past 18 years. The last 12 years have been in SDUHSD, three as Assistant Principal at Torrey Pines High School, four as Principal at Carmel Valley Middle School and four as Principal at Diegueño Middle School. Regardless of my role, I have always been a part of caring and collaborative teams in education, and I am happy to be here at SDA.

Beginning my 19th year in the SDUHSD. Born and raised in Long Island NY and a graduate of Uconn & Hofstra University before moving to San Diego 20 years ago. Proud Dad of Reece (4th grade) and Emery (2nd) across the street at Ocean Knoll. I Love all things sports, outdoors and music. Excited and proud to be beginning my second year as a SDA Mustang!

I am a local San Diegan. I was born and raised in Fallbrook, CA. I attended Palomar College, San Diego State, Cal State San Marcos, University of San Diego, and Cal State Fullerton. I began my career 20 years ago in school counseling and now am beginning my 15th year in high school administration (10th year in SDUHSD). When I am not working I am busy spending time with my two daughters (11th & 8th grade). We enjoy all things soccer, good food, and getaway adventures when we get the chance. I'm looking forward to my second year at SDA. Go Mustangs! |
