I will engage with teachers, building staff, and students to learn more about what students need to succeed. I will support what is going well, and I will work with the board and the administration to address what is needed.

I will bring my project management and operations experience to this role to be an effective steward of district resources. I will work with my fellow board members to find common ground and collaborate for the benefit of the district and its students.

I will support and celebrate the successes of the district, including safeguarding essential resources that support students in their academic journey. I want every student to have the support they need to take advantage of the opportunities offered by our district.
