Over the past 15 years, I've successfully brought school staff, families and community members together to promote student success. I've engaged businesses and worked with families of diverse cultural backgrounds.
Hands-on experience working alongside PPS in more than 20 schools, has given me a clear understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. My priorities will be to increase accountability and student achievement . As a school board member, I will use relevant data and fiscally responsible decision-making to achieve my primary goal: an excellent education for every student.
