I've been fortunate enough to walk with youth and families for the last 25 years across multiple systems—including schools, juvenile justice, mental health, and community-based organizations.

As Co-Executive Director of Realism Is Loyalty, I've also had the opportunity to lead organizational growth, developed evidence-based programming for youth and families, managed and grown our yearly budget, and built partnerships that enhance and give back to our community.

However, my biggest strength that I will bring into this role, if elected, would be to make sure there is always a space for your voice to be heard.

The Board of Education sets the district's vision and policies, approves the budget, hires and evaluates the Superintendent, and provides oversight for the district's long-term success.
