Why are you running for the school board this election cycle?
I feel like education is facing many challenges (staff retention, teacher housing, and hiring to name a few), and I would like to be part of the team to try and find solutions for these challenges.
What issues do you want to address and how do you plan to address them?
At this time I think working as a team to get to the root of the issues, asking good questions, and listening to all voices will help give us the best chance to devise actionable items to make sure our district moves forward in the right direction.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I have worked in education for over 15 years as both a teacher and an administrator. I believe these experiences will better prepare me for my service as a School Board member.
I am also passionate about kids, and want to make sure we are giving them the best opportunity to be successful in their future endeavors.
