I felt a need for my voice to be louder. I desire to listen to community, staff, students and families of ASD. I want to support policies that make sense having the greatest benefits to everyone. My husband and I attended elementary through HS in Auburn. Where our five children attend. Our eldest is deaf.  She graduated from Auburn taking classes with hearing peers. Two of our kids are in the highly capable program. I’m fortunate to have worked in a variety of classrooms in Auburn and neighboring districts. I know challenges from both sides of the IEP table. I've developed a unique perspective and currently seeking to protect valuable traditions that remain effective in education and support changes necessary to stay current with progress. I have an eager spirit with a heart of compassion and service. I’m excited to serve as a school board director if awarded the opportunity.

Thank you to 5,199 voters who voted for me in 2021. The winner served only 4 months then resigned. I promise I will serve every day with energy and dedication. If I don’t win, I’ll run again 2 years from now. I will serve this community. I want our student learners to succeed remarkably. I want our developmentally disabled students to grow stronger mentally and physically. I want every nickel of funds to be used wisely. I want to sit with the 4 women now on the board to accept challenging assignments, contribute as someone who has been in Auburn schools for 8 years. I’m in Kent currently and see and listen to ideas every single day from people on the inside; staff, principals, specialists, parents. My presence on this board means improvement. Auburn residents will see a new attitude, someone that keeps them informed and listens to their needs.
