Biography
submitted by the candidate or their team
For 13 years I have been a public school parent in this district. Professionally, my background in speech-language pathology and my years of working with children have given me a deep understanding of child development and the power of family-centered practice.
I have devoted myself to advocating for better supports, inclusion, and improved communication with school and district staff.
Reason for running
submitted by the candidate or their team
I am running for trustee to make our school system more inclusive, transparent, and responsive. I have learned by experience that establishing trust through relationships is foundational — for children's learning and parent engagement, and for a healthy education system.
