About me

Community Roots

As a life-long resident, graduate, parent, and current board member, I care deeply about the District community. Educators played an important role in shaping who I am today. As student I was learned so more than what was in my textbooks. They helped teach me the importance of empathy, teamwork, self-advocacy, and accountability. As a parent, I see first-hand how the district has changed over the years providing even more opportunities and support for our students’ development and aspirations.

Career Experience

I have spent the past 20+ years working in Educational Publishing. My work has instilled in me a drive to make the educational experience for students as engaging as possible with the goal of igniting a life-long passion for learning. While I’m not a trained educator, being involved in the development of educational materials has given me insight into much of what goes into educating students. Such as learning standards, instructional models, and current trends. This insight along with the skills that I use daily in my role as a Creative Director: creative-thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration, also make me an effective board member.
