Why are you running for school board?
After having the opportunity to serve of the Community Taskforce on the Budget in 2024, I started watching more of the board meetings online, and eventually started attending in person. I started engaging in communities online, and reached out to former school board members. Through this process, I felt strongly that I had something to offer to our school board.

What are your top priorities if elected?
- In your first year, you’re going to do a lot of learning and listening.
- There have been a lot of smart people to get on the board before you, odds are if there’s something you’d like to see done, it’s been suggested and there’s a reason it’s not happening.
- Manage your expectations, 3 years goes by quickly, and every year the board dynamic changes with a new election. If you have a list of things you want to do, odds are you’ll be lucky to get one or two accomplished.
- Candidate collaboration and awareness during the campaign
- Foster a culture of trust and kindness
- Create a 5 year fiscal plan
How do you make a 5 year financial projection?
Steps:
