Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a parent, aunt, small business owner and Onward Clintonville board member. I can see both the large and small pictures on issues and am a team player when it comes to resolving issues.

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 want to improve communication and transparency within the Clintonville School District. I want the community at large to be involved in decisions at the school level. I will make myself available for those discussions.
• Nothing bad ever comes from open conversation.
• I am passionate about the Clintonville School District, and I want the district and its students to excel. We are a small town and we should be proud of it. We should be using our small town strengths to our advantage. I will consider what is best for everyone, and help the Clintonville School Board create a strong and flourishing school district.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

N/A

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

I believe that the people elected to this position need to be able to check their own opinions at the door to make the best decisions for our school district. We need to make the decisions that will prepare our students for their world, not necessarily the world we wish existed for them.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My very first job was a early morning newspaper delivery person. I actually held that job until I was hired as the newspaper stuffer. I did that job until I started college and was also working the co-op job I started my senior year.

How will you build relationships with members of the broader community? Which groups, organizations, stakeholders will you specifically target?

I started doing "Coffee with a Candidate" and "Meet the Candidate" events to help people get to know me. I have every intention of continuing those events if I'm elected. I want the community to feel comfortable expressing concerns and know that they are being heard.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

None. I refused to take any endorsements so I would be able to speak my own mind and so the residents wouldn't question my motivations and intentions.
