Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My career in education has lasted over a decade. As a foster parent and substitute I have been in almost every LPS building. I believe our community deserves a choice. No one should run unopposed so such an influential board. I believe our teachers and students need to be safe in their classrooms. Teachers deserve higher pay and better support. We need to spend our funding wisely. We need to fill the over 100 openings for staff district-wide. Our poor test scores show that we are failing to do our most basic task of helping students be proficient in math & reading.

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?

• I am a humble mom & teacher who thinks she can bring change
• I care about ALL students and staff
• I am brave & honest & thoughtful

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Parents' Rights. Transparency & Communication.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
