I’m also a business leader. Over the past ten years, I founded two successful technology businesses that are still thriving today, one of which we sold. From my experience in that field, I know there are also plenty of technologies that don’t work, or that even get in the way of meaningful student learning. As your school board trustee, I will ensure we spend money only on things that actually help teachers and students. At the same time, I understand how the world is changing — and how our schools must adapt so that our kids are prepared to meet those changes.
Last but not least, I’m an educator. I recently spent several months substitute teaching in Washoe County, from second grade through high school; I also tutor foster kids in order to help them get their diplomas. I simply love teaching kids and being in the classroom — so much so that I considered becoming a teacher. But just before the school board filing deadline, I was asked by several members of the community to step into this race. After careful consideration, I realized that serving on the school board would provide the opportunity to have more impact on more kids.- Support our teachers: If we don’t support our teachers, we don’t have good schools. Period. I’ll fight to continue increasing pay and create pathways for teachers themselves to learn, grow, and feel supported. Recent raises were a great start, but only bring teachers closer to a “survivable” wage — I’d like to see a livable one.
- Welcome all students: I am committed to creating school environments where every student feels welcome, safe, respected, and valued — regardless of their background or identity.
- Decrease testing, increase teaching: I believe we must reduce standardized testing and make more room for real education. This means spending more time engaging in hands-on learning and creative problem-solving that prepares our students for the real world.
