Who I Am
As a parent of three district students (two current and one graduate) with over a decade of experience working in public schools, I understand firsthand the challenges and opportunities facing our schools.
What I Stand For
Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, supported, and empowered in their learning environment. Staff should be provided with the training, tools and resources they need to be successful.
My Values
I believe in building strong relationships, maintaining integrity, and ensuring transparency and accountability.
Vote for me and I will foster a district that prioritizes equity, excellence, and innovation while working within our our budget.
Platform Issues

Safety
Invest in preventative safety measures including staff training and facility improvements. Provide staff with necessary resources and support. Focus on Social / Emotional Learning.
Governance
Emphasize student-centered decision-making in policy development while gathering input from all stakeholder groups. Assure fiscal responsibility, strong superintendent leadership, and strategic planning.
