Personal Statement

I believe having a good education system can transform lives, therefore, I want to continue to support the success of the students in our community.  I feel my 35 years in education, the various leadership roles I’ve held within the district and community, my bilingual skills, and my experience as a TCSD employee are strengths that will benefit the school board.  I worked for several years at both schools represented by Area 1, Maple and Pleasant, and am honored to be able to continue working for the families in these schools.
