We are at a pivotal time with an opportunity to come together, leverage our diverse perspectives, and reimagine public education. This can be possible with brave leaders willing to challenge the status quo, ask hard questions, and implement student centered policies. My 10+ years in youth development and nonprofit leadership have taught me that by encouraging collective growth, voice and innovation, we empower the entire community.

As a member of the Board I will work to center the whole child by strengthening partnerships and ensuring quality resources and training. We will increase equity by putting community first and elevating youth voice to give students ownership of their education.

Leading through change requires an emphasis on relationship building, trust, collaboration, and a clear vision. We need bold leaders who are committed to transparency. When elected, these are things that I will bring to the Tukwila School Board.
