In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I bring more than 30 years of hands-on experience in public education — as an instructional aide, classroom teacher, central office IT professional, and staff aide to an elected school board member. That last role matters most: I’ve sat where board members sit and seen what the job actually requires — policy-making, budget stewardship, and oversight of the superintendent.”
