Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Implement a Wellbeing of Children Strategy to ensure our children's success.

• Create strong content knowledge in early literacy development for teachers in early childhood education classrooms to increase literacy among our children.
• Increase resource for children with disabilities and special needs

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The school board should set the direction of our schools, advance policy, and build community relationships. A well-run school board plays a vital role in keeping the school district on track and putting students' best interests first. I would like to accomplish as a board member to develop, implement, and assess relevant educational programming and resources for educators, students, and parents.
