Party: N/A

Profession: Lawyer

Political experience (Ie.: how long have you been in office?): New and keen.

Why are you running?

I am a proud resident of New West. Our district has started a rebuilding process over the last year but we have more to do. A broader range of skills and perspectives on our board would be an asset.  I am a lawyer trained to advocate and create solutions and the parent of two middle school kids. I am also passionate about public education.  My goal is revitalize and modernize our school district so that our district is theplace to be.  I have the drive, determination and the practical skills that will help get us there. I am stepping up for my community.

Top three issues you want to work on:

1.  Prompt and efficient completion of high school. 

2.  Address needs of struggling students who are falling through the cracks

3.  Responsible leadership - vigorous financial oversight, transparent, proactive decision-making, students and families as partners in the system
