Maplewood-Richmond Heights School Board
I am a MRH school board member, parent, and volunteer who works as a university educator and nurse practitioner. My family moved here for a diverse, high-quality public school experience which MRH has delivered from pre-K to high school. I want to ensure other parents see MRH as their destination district and have a positive experience with MRH schools. I am an advocate of public education because of how it benefitted me growing up impoverished in a single-parent home, then attending Mizzou as a first-generation college student. Elect me to continue my service for the good of the district and our community.
Students must be at the center of board decisions to foster their growth as scholars, citizens, and leaders. Our students’ success requires high-quality, nurturing teachers who are supported by administrators and a board collaborating to create a culture where employees feel valued and respected. It is essential to retain and recruit the best teachers and staff to ensure that our children achieve academic success and career readiness.
