| Collapse all
- I have 15 year experience working with youth in after school programs, as a community organizer, and as a nonprofit Executive Director.
- I have personal experience navigating schools and school communities while experiencing homelessness, poverty, and food insecurity. I am also a mother to one child who is currently an APS student, and one who will be in APS in 3 years. These experiences have shaped and continue to shape my worldview, fuel my passion and commitment, and are similar to the experiences many of our families are currently facing in the district. I believe this lived experience will help me develop and advocate for families in ways that will address the root causes of adversities, provide support, and uplift wrap-around services that are being provided in the district.
- In my professional life, I have a proven track record of policy development, advocacy, fundraising, and budget management. I worked with several organizations and groups to develop and advocate for education policy, on a state, city, and district level. As a non-profit Executive Director, I have been responsible for fundraising and managing budgets in excess of 1,000,000 dollars
