I am running for School Board because I believe in our public schools. I am a proud product of Renton schools - Honeydew Elementary School, McKnight Middle School, Hazen High School. My educational experience along with 31 years of service in Seattle Public Schools, has given me a strong grasp of what educators and students need to be successful.

I believe that all students and families should be represented in the choices we make when it comes to curriculum, hiring, and safety in schools. And while I believe that each student reaching proficiency is imperative, I also believe that teachers and students must have the support to prepare them for state assessments. I believe in inclusivity and will advocate for all our students and families.  

If elected, I will build strong community partnerships to fill the gaps that we are seeing in funding and equity so we can ensure that every student gets a high-quality education through the Renton School District and are successful when they graduate from school.  I will use my robust experience in tandem with building strong partnerships with educators, students, parents, and the community to ensure every school and student has the tools to be successful.
