What motivated you to run for this position?
In my first term on the board, we helped guide LTISD in a positive direction. We set clear goals to improve culture, outcomes, and processes—and achieved them. I’ve seen the meaningful impact I can make and hope to continue building on our strong progress.

I’m a proud parent of two students and a volunteer on two campuses where I’ve seen firsthand the challenges teachers face. I’m running for Trustee because our students/educators deserve collaborative, listening leadership. My motto, “find a better way,” reflects my commitment to continuous improvement to our already strong district.
Budget and growing pains. We are blessed with a passionate community and plenty of differing opinions. In these next few years, as we open a second high school and navigate funding of public schools, we must listen to our educators and engage our families to achieve the best decisions possible.
If elected, what will be your top priorities to address district challenges? I am already actively addressing our paramount challenge-better funding for our extraordinarily exceptional people and programs. For example, as a founding member of the Strategic Resources committee, we are actively leveraging all capital assets and revenue possibilities. We hope to soon execute a land sale to ameliorate the budget deficit.
