Statement: I know it’s not easy to hear, but our schools’ educational report card signaled a steep decline before the pandemic, with 2 out of 3 kids currently falling below grade-level in Reading, Science and Math. We can do better! (OSPI.K12.wa.us) 

As a mother of 6 children, I have great interest in their educational future and I believe we can get our children back on track and make up the significant learning-loss.  As your School Board Director, I will strive to: bring back an Academic Focus that builds foundational knowledge, invigorates and challenges kids interests, and prepares them to be mentally resilient, emotionally independent, and academically balanced for their future. I will Build Stronger Student/Parent/Teacher Relations by providing our children with full communicative support, reinforcement, and mental health services. I will bring a Balanced & Fair Approach to ensure fiscal accountability, respecting all viewpoints, and advocate for policies that are thoughtful, fair, and sound. 

Drawing on my experiences, education, and community outreach, I will do my best to represent parents and educators to build a stronger foundational future that we can all get behind. I ask for your Vote!

Proudly supported by parents, teachers, small business-owners and community members.
