Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a long-time resident of north Spokane dedicated to educational excellence. With a strong background in community service, I advocate for safe high-performing schools that prepare all students for success. I believe there is not greater gift that a community can give than an education that includes rigor and accountability.

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?

• Safe and inclusive environments in schools are crucial for fostering belonging and respect among students.
• When educators feel valued, they invest more in their students' success. Policies that ensure fair compensation and professional development enhance job satisfaction and improve student outcomes, creating a stronger educational system.
• A clear and detailed budget is essential for effectively tracking expenses and to avoid overspending. This transparency establishes trust and allows Mead to use its resources more responsibly.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

School Safety and Student Well-being

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Local residents of Mead School District, as well as friends and family. Chad Burchard has also endorsed me.

What will you do to build a relationship with parents in the district?

Building strong relationships with parents is essential to a successful school district. As a school board member, I would prioritize open, respectful, and ongoing communication with families across the Mead School District. I believe parents are partners in their children’s education.

Be Present & Approachable
Promote Transparent Communication
Listen First

Respect Parent Rights

What is an accomplishment that you are proud of?

I am most proud of working with youth and supporting them through their journey in life. Helping them overcome barriers and reach their goals and dreams. I spent 22 years in the juvenile justice system advocating for youth and their families.
