- World Class Education- Every child deserves the opportunity to receive a quality education that equips them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive in an ever-changing world.
- Empower our educators-Providing resources and support educators need to excel. We can foster an environment where curiosity is nurtured, diversity is celebrated, and excellence is the standard.
- Power of Community- By working collaboratively with parents, teachers, administrators, and community members, we can address the challenges facing our education system and create positive change for the benefit of all students.
I'm passionate about advocating for policies that prioritize student success, support our dedicated educators, foster innovation in teaching and learning, and promote equity and diversity in our schools.
I believe several qualities I possess would contribute to my effectiveness in serving as a school board member. I believe that my combination of passion, leadership, communication skills, analytical abilities, integrity, adaptability, and empathy positions me well to serve effectively as a school board member and advocate for the best interests of students, educators, and the community.
In my view, the primary job of a school board member is to serve as a steward of the community's education system, representing the interests of students, families, educators, and taxpayers. The primary job of a school board member is to ensure that every student has access to a high-quality education in a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment. By fulfilling their duties with integrity, diligence, and a commitment to equity and excellence, school board members can make a positive difference in the lives of students and the well-being of the community.
