It is an honor to serve as a board member for Riverview School District. I am a passionate education advocate who cares deeply about our students, staff, parents, and our community.  I am proud to help lead the district through the unprecedented challenges of a pandemic.  Through these challenges we balanced the needs of the community, students, and district employees.  The world has changed and we must prepare our children to be successful in this new environment.

My family has lived in Duvall for 19 years. My involvement over the years includes committees, PTSA, the Riverview Ambassador Program, and as a school director.

In the last 5 years Riverview has: increased the graduation rate to 97%, received the Board of the Year award, and is recognized as a national leader in ‘student voice.  Much work remains to allow every student to be successful. Please vote to re-elect Sabrina Parnell.

There are unique challenges facing our school board as we continue to navigate both the pandemic and our growing community.  Unique challenges are best addressed by diverse opinions and fresh perspectives.  The current school board has been in place since 2015 and the majority even longer.  While continuity is important, so is change. 

Transparency and communication are vital to fostering and maintaining community engagement to ensure all voices are heard.  This is an area that can be improved by our school board.  These pillars are critical to ensuring high level of community support.

While I do not have school board or school administration experience, my skills gained during 18 years of corporate work would directly translate to this role.  I am skilled at navigating ambiguity, being transparent, and communicating across differences.  I have two children in the district and have been part of this community for 14 years.
