Statement of Intent

I want to help to continue making the place my children attend school the best it can be. As leader and past board member in my community to some I like to be actively involved in decisions, annual budget creation and balancing the budget annually as well.

It is my belief that the board leadership depends first and foremost on directors’ commitment to excellence in governing the entity they have been elected to serve. I also understand the need to rely on the thoughtful, deliberate choices made by directors on the board.
