==Insights==
My important personal
characteristics which will make
me an asset to the Board are
my passion for what is fair and
equitable for children, and my
ability to work collaboratively to
achieve that goal. I am a
competent decision maker systematic,
methodical and
logical in my thinking and a
team player who takes pride in
group accomplishment. I am
an excellent listener, patient
and respectful of others.
Competence and role clarity are my
strengths. As a youth development
specialist, I stay informed of trends
and best practices so that I can
practice proven methods based on
how well they will contribute to the
outcomes we seek to accomplish.
As a Board member, I will strive to
insure that programs and projects
are consistent with the Board’s
mission and goals to insure that
quality education is provided to
every child in every school.
The School Board is the school
district’s policy-making arm and
has been granted the public’s
trust to create policy that provides
the best education possible for
every student. That means that all
decisions relating to policy,
facilities, and personnel must be
viewed through the lens of how
they will best contribute to quality
education for every student. I will
use that lens in my decision
making to insure equity and
quality in public education.
