I’ve been honored to serve students, families, and staff as a Bellingham School District Director since 2017. I’m a lifelong Democrat who believes public schools have the power to transform communities. I'm also a mom: my daughter has cerebral palsy and is a 7th grader in the Bellingham School District.
  • Whether it's immigrant families, trans kids, low-income folks, or disabled students—I will not be neutral on issues that impact our kids. That means working to close gaps in graduation rates, test scores, and access to post-high school opportunities. But it also means something even more fundamental: making sure every student is treated with dignity, humanity, and respect every time they walk through the doors of our schools.
  • Like many Districts, we’re still facing budget challenges due to inflation, levy limits, and State underfunding. In tough times, it can be tempting to see programs supporting inclusive classrooms, equity, and mental health as extras. They are not. I will continue advocating for all programs the make a difference in our kids’ lives.
  • AI is here. Misinformation is here. Climate change is here. A workforce that looks nothing like it did 30 years ago is here. Education is not just about preparing our kids for right now, it’s preparing them for what’s next. That means creating courses for emerging career paths, building strong digital literacy, ensuring our schools are sustainable, and giving students the tools to thrive and lead in our new reality.
Inclusionary school models, correcting inequities in student outcomes, and providing educators with the necessary resources to be successful
Elected officials are most successful when they are able to look at issues from multiple perspectives, are deeply connected to their community, are enthusiastic learners, and can uphold strong values, even under pressure.
I was a babysitter, gave clarinet lessons, and was a school tutor when I was 15.
