Why I’m Running
I love serving on SLP’s School Board!
I am running to continue to serve because…
I believe:
Every child should have access to high quality education in a welcoming and nurturing learning environment
We must be accountable to adopting and implementing anti-racist policies and practices
It is critical to center the voices of those most impacted by our work - students, families and educators
I am deeply connected to SLP Schools:
As a parent - Our oldest son starts Kindergarten in SLP Schools this Fall! Our younger son will follow in a few years
As a current school board member - I was appointed in April 2022
As a neighbor and community member for over 9 years
