Our schools are where children learn who they are and what they want to be.  The role of our schools is to inspire every child to grow into their fullest potential, embrace their individuality, determine their passion, and ready a plan for beyond high school. I want to work with our district to provide the means to do just that.

As the current President of the Issaquah School Board, I know much work lies ahead to ensure the District stays strong through its tremendous growth, transitions to a different state funding model; remains fiscally responsible and accountable to taxpayers; provides teachers with the tools they need; and provides relevant, equitable education in every classroom.

I believe bringing all voices to the table: student, teacher, staff, parent, community member, city, county, and state is imperative to make the best choices and find the best solutions needed to meet the needs of all stakeholders and prepare all our youth for their best future.

I will work locally, regionally, and at state and national levels to lead the charge to make our great schools even better, connected to our community, ensuring every child matters.

With the highest regard, I ask for your vote.
