My Goals

Continuing the work for our students, schools, and community.

Serving on the ISD 199 School Board has given me the opportunity to listen, learn, and lead alongside the students, families, educators, staff, and neighbors who make our community so special.

As I seek re-election, I’m committed to building on the progress we’ve made while continuing to lead with integrity, listen to our community, and keep our students at the center of every decision.

What I'll Continue Fighting For

Safe Schools

Every student deserves a place where they can learn, grow, and thrive.

Safety is about more than what happens inside a classroom. I believe our students and staff deserve school environments where they feel physically safe, emotionally supported, respected, and valued.

I will continue advocating for thoughtful policies, resources, and partnerships that support the well-being of our students and staff while creating learning environments where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

My commitment is to continue:

  • Prioritizing the physical and emotional safety of our students and staff.

  • Supporting school environments where every student feels respected, valued, and ready to learn.

  • Listening to students, families, educators, and staff when making decisions that impact safety and well-being.

Transparency & Integrity

Trust matters.

Serving on the School Board means being accountable to the community I was elected to represent. I believe our families and neighbors deserve honest communication, thoughtful decision-making, and leadership they can trust.

 

I will continue asking questions, listening to different perspectives, and approaching decisions with integrity—even when those decisions are difficult.

My commitment is to continue:

  • Encouraging clear and open communication between the district, School Board, and community.

  • Making thoughtful decisions with the best interests of our students and schools at the center.

  • Leading with honesty, accountability, and integrity in every conversation and decision.

Every Community Voice

Our schools are stronger when our community is part of the conversation.

Some of the most important things I’ve learned as a School Board member have come from simply listening. Students. Parents. Educators. Staff. Families. Neighbors. Every person experiences our schools differently, and those perspectives matter.

 

I will continue creating opportunities for people to share their experiences, ask questions, and be part of conversations about the future of ISD 199. You may not always agree with every decision I make, but I will always believe your voice deserves to be heard.

My commitment is to continue:

  • Listening to students, families, educators, staff, and community members.

  • Creating opportunities for meaningful community input and conversation.

  • Making sure different perspectives are considered when decisions are made.
