I am running for the Madison School Board because I care deeply about our community, our children, and equitable access to excellent education. I've lived in Arizona for over 40 years, and attended K12 and received 2 degrees from Az public schools. I'm an active Madison parent and a member of the Madison Advocates.

  I’m an executive consultant working with clients in both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors. Over my career, I've led both nonprofit organizations and government agencies, having served as President & CEO of a statewide education advocacy nonprofit and as Exec. Dir. of the State Board of Education. I was the chief lobbyist for the Az Board of Regents and the State Bar of Az.

For decades I have championed investments in Arizona’s education systems as critical for the state’s future success. I am a vocal leader for policies that support every student, every step of the way - regardless of their background, income or zip code. I build diverse coalitions to champion and implement laws and policies that positively impact Arizona’s students. I develop solid working relationships and lead constructive dialogues among educators, administrators, students, and community members to find common ground solutions and advance meaningful change. I bring extensive experience in budgeting and strategic planning in both state government and the nonprofit sector, and I am a sought-after expert in Arizona education policy.
  • I'm a Madison parent, interested in engaging students, parents, teachers & staff, and community members to better understand their hopes and concerns about our schools, and using that input to improve Madison.
  • I am committed to reinforcing and further developing the excellent programs that both support our diverse learners and contribute to our community’s strong property values.
  • I have a proven track record of leading constructive dialogues among educators, administrators, students, and community members to find common ground solutions and advance meaningful change.
