My Top Issues
Promoting workforce development programs
I believe that partnering with our local community, workforce development, and business owners provides opportunities for our students to be successful. As the workforce evolves, these partnerships help us stay current and involved in this digital and technology-driven climate.
School-Based Mental Health Programs
I believe in supporting the Mental Health and wellness of our students by providing them with a safe and nurturing environment to learn. I have advocated for systems to help students feel comfortable being transparent as it relates to their own or others' mental wellness.
Invest in local public education
Is Public Education worth saving? YES!! I have dedicated time, energy, and effort to advocating for our local public educational system at both the local and state levels and will continue to support this cause.
