As a parent of two LHPUSD students, a former educator, active

volunteer, and current high school cross country coach, I am fully

involved and committed in creating positive change in our rural

and distant community. I have hands-on experience working with

students, teachers, and administration while serving as president of

Viking Boosters. Through additional volunteer work, I’ve gained

a thorough understanding of our district and a drive to serve. I

promise to be a tireless advocate for equity in our educational

system. I will work to eliminate barriers, fully celebrate and

include the diversity of our community, and provide pathways to

success for all students. As your school board member, I hope to

represent you with utmost dedication and integrity and respectfully

ask for your vote in November.

Every student should walk into our schools knowing they are supported by caring mentors and equitable opportunities to achieve their greatest potential ……  And that happens when we see our differences not as burdens to overcome, but as opportunities to expand our perspectives, engage our community, and advance our school offerings.  The future of education is something to get really really excited about.  And that is because there is a growing effort to shift education from one of compliance, control, and conformism to one that honors the uniqueness of every student and promotes learning through experimentation, creativity, and community experience.  Overcoming challenges like accessibility, social justice, and educational reform calls on an administration, staff and community of people willing to listen, experiment, and learn from trying new things.  In moments like these, people need to feel supported in their work and often a recipe for success can turn a daunting action or decision into something safe to try.  If elected, my unique set of skills allows me to step in right away and provide proven methods, models, and approaches in how we communicate, how we use technology, and how we shape our educational vision and curriculum.

I thank you for your vote!
