Reason for running

Inclusive Schools = Thriving Communities

I am passionate about safe, caring, and inclusive communities, and I know the best way to get there is by creating safe, caring and inclusive schools. As the mother of three children attending public schools, I am deeply invested in ensuring that our schools are enriched and welcoming spaces where all students feel seen and supported. When students do not feel safe to be themselves, their learning is deeply impacted. I am passionate about a school district where each student is empowered to reach their full potential, and where teachers and staff have the resources they need to make that happen.
