Professional and Educational Experience: I attended Rantoul City Schools and Rantoul Township High School, graduating in 2006. From there, I attended the University of Illinois, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business in 2010 and a Master of Business Administration in 2017. I am currently employed as an Assistant Director of Finance at the University of Illinois.
Relationship to RCS: I attended Rantoul City Schools from Kindergarten to 8th grade.
Personal Statement: I would not be who I am today without the education I have received. That started at RCS, where I was provided with many opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive. I am passionate about providing these types of opportunities to current RCS students, as the decisions made by the board directly influence the ability of students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I believe that we should strive every day to provide the highest quality education while being aware of the unique needs and circumstances faced by families in the district. I look forward to working with the other members of the board and the community to ensure development and success within Rantoul City Schools.
