Strong schools build strong communities. Strong communities build strong schools. I believe we have this wonderful, symbiotic relationship within our Fife School District. My accounting background helps me understand "the dollars and cents" of our school district, ensuring fiscal responsibility to our tax payers and other stakeholders of our schools. My work in higher education has given me a unique perspective on learning and facilitation styles. This professional experience has and will continue to guide me, if I am elected to the board. Fife School District more than just a place we send our kids to school: is a feeling. It is a sense of community. A place of learning and development. Together, we can maintain this feeling, and better yet, evolve as a community to make sure we are meeting the needs of all of our students. Because together, we are strong, and we are Fife.
