Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a wife, mother, advocate, small business owner, volunteer and daughter of an HCPS retired teacher with lifelong roots in the Brookland District. I attended Holladay, Moody, and Hermitage prior to earning my degree in Finance at VCU. My three children attend middle school in the Brookland District. In addition to serving on PTA Boards and volunteering in my children's schools since 2011, I currently co-chair the Henrico Lay Advisory Committee, serve on the HCPS Strategic Plan Steering Committee and co-founded an education advocacy group, Equitable Advocates. I believe every child deserves a safe, first-rate education and the resources necessary to be successful and life ready after high school graduation. I believe my decades of financial and business experience combined with my first-hand knowledge of Henrico Schools as a student, parent, volunteer and advocate make me the most qualified to serve as the next Brookland District School Board member. I'm invested in the future of our children, teachers, staff and schools! Together, we can make a difference.

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 support proactive planning and budgeting to reduce class sizes and eliminate overcrowding in our schools. Students, teachers and staff deserve smaller class sizes that allow for improved communication, relationships, and learning environments.
• Recruit, retain and reward the best and brightest teachers and staff by empowering them with relevant curriculum and professional development, competitive compensation, increased support, guaranteed planning time and reduced student testing.
• Our schools should be safe and equipped with the resources to support every child academically, developmentally, mentally, and physically.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am most passionate about fiscal and social education policies that ensure ALL of our Henrico students receive a first-class education, are safe and are life ready no matter their path after high school graduation. I support proactive planning and budgeting that reduces class sizes and eliminates overcrowding; recruiting, retaining and rewarding the brightest teachers and staff by empowering them with relevant curriculum and professional development, competitive compensation, increased support, guaranteed planning time and reduced student testing; and resource allocation that supports every student academically, developmentally, mentally, and physically.
