Why I’m Running

As a mother of three children in our district and a substitute teacher, I care deeply about the future of our schools. My experiences both at home and in the classroom have shown me the strengths of our district, the challenges we must address, and the opportunities we have to create the best possible learning environment for every student.

I’m running because every decision our school board makes should put students first, support our teachers, and keep politics out of the classroom.

Bringing People Together

I am a listener, a problem solver, and an advocate for children. I want to bring people together, work collaboratively, and make decisions based on facts, educational best practices, and what is in the best interest of students.

Together, we can restore trust, support our educators, strengthen our schools, and ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive.

It’s time to put students first.
