As educators, we are responsible for providing the best education possible for all of our students.  The district should manage public funds effectively for fundamental educational purposes.  All students deserve the necessary tools, curriculum and support in order to thrive.  Our commitment to high expectations for student learning must guide our decisions.

Having been in education for 42 years, I recognize the need for collaboration among all the constituents in our very diverse community.  I am passionate about education, our students, and the people who work tirelessly with them and for them.  I will advocate for healthy changes and positive growth to provide a strong education so each and everyone of our students can reach their full potential.

I am excited about students achieving their highest potential in a district where parents, teachers and staff can work collaboratively for this end. My vision for Tukwila School District is to improve: a) Prioritize our students and families and build authentic community engagement programs, b) Create equitable access to education programs and address inequities in academic achievement, c) Collaboratively analyze and seek to improve district and community relations,  My knowledge and experience as a parent, a member of the Parent Engagement Committee and the Budget Committee has prepared me for this next step to serve as your Tukwila School Board Representative for District 4. I would be honored to receive your vote.
