I am a current School Board member and Chair of the Finance and Operations Committee. I have an in-depth understanding of the issues and know how to get the job done effectively. I am clear about the concerns of parents and school personnel, while understanding the challenges that students face in the contemporary classroom. While at Centro Hispano, Project Opportunity and now Briarpatch, I have worked directly with students, parents and school personnel from all racial and economic backgrounds. The well-being and overall success of young people in this community remains my primary commitment, both personally and professionally.
Healthy families are the foundation for a healthy start in education.
The School Board occupies a clear role in this process. I have a BS in mathematics from Bradley University. We have three children, two currently at Madison Memorial. My point of view and parent connections are different from the present board. Only two board members currently have children in Madison schools.
