I was raised believing leadership is an act of service and that every person matters. That belief has guided my life as a parent, a business owner, a grandparent, and a community leader.

I bring years of experience leading organizations, making thoughtful decisions under pressure, and listening to voices across diverse perspectives. My leadership is grounded in a belief that stewardship matters — especially when it comes to our schools, our children, and our shared future.

My family’s experience in public schools — supporting children with different learning needs and walking through moments of both growth and grief — shaped how I view public education.

Every student brings a unique story into the classroom. Teachers are entrusted with many of those stories every day. Responsible, intentional leadership should support every student, every educator while being accountable to every voter and taxpayer.
