Meet Sarah

My wife, Kori, and I have lived in St. Louis Park for over 9 years…we love it here! We spend a lot of time riding bikes and exploring parks. Our oldest son is very excited to start Kindergarten this Fall!

I am a deeply experienced restorative practitioner, having facilitated restorative circles and family group conferences for almost ten years in schools in the Twin Cities.

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
