I'm running for school board because I believe in the power of public education to change lives. I've dedicated 29 years to public education - as a teacher, a school administrator, and a district-level director. I've spent my career working to ensure that every student, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to the opportunities and support they need to succeed.
But this isn't just my profession - it's personal. I'm also a parent of two children who have attended or are attending public schools, so I understand firsthand what families want and need from their school system. I know how important it is that every child walks into a school where they feel safe, valued, and challenged to reach their full potential.
I bring a unique perspective to the school board because I've seen education from every angle.
This experience has given me the knowledge and leadership skills to make informed, thoughtful decisions that will benefit our schools, our students, and our community.
I believe every student deserves a fair chance at success - no matter their zip code, learning style, or personal circumstances. That means:
Because I know what's at stake. I've seen what happens when schools don't get the support they need, and I know the difference that strong leadership can make. Public education is the foundation of a thriving society, and I want to use my experience to ensure that our schools have the leadership, funding, and vision they need to serve every child well.
But I can't do this alone - I need your support. Whether it's your vote, a conversation with a neighbor, or spreading the word about this campaign, every effort counts. Together, we can make a real difference for our students, our educators, and our community.
Thank you, and I look forward to working with you to build stronger schools for a brighter future.
