Board members play a crucial role in advocating for the interests of parents, students, and citizens within a school district. As elected representatives, our primary responsibility is to ensure that the educational system meets the needs and aspirations of the community. This involves actively engaging with parents to understand their concerns, collaborating with educators to enhance the quality of education, and advocating for policies that promote the overall well-being of students. 

​

The past six years have reinforced that advocacy isn't just about voicing concerns; it's about forging partnerships, fostering dialogue, and tirelessly working towards a shared vision of an inclusive and thriving Kirkwood School District. Advocacy often involves considering the overall perspective rather than focusing on individual issues. I will not shy away from debate, but rather, I will embrace the responsibility to address discussions head-on. My commitment lies in navigating these challenges with transparency, empathy, and dedication.
