| Collapse all
- Supporting Students: I believe that all students deserve a complete, high-quality education. I also believe that everyone benefits from a well-educated population. I will work to assure this is true for all Jordan District students.
- Engaging Families: The entire community educates students. I want to encourage family input and investment in education. I want to represent the interests of Daybreak, Herriman, and Copperton on the Jordan School Board.
- Teachers are professionals and must be supported. Education Support Professionals are crucial to student success. I will work to attract and keep the best educators in Jordan District. When we improve working conditions and compensation for our educators, Jordan will attract and keep the best educators; our students will see great benefits as a result.
I was, as a result of my training in technical theatre on the Stage Crew, asked to assist the West Jordan Youth Theatre with running the soundboard during their productions at WJMS for several years.
