"As a proud attendee of public schools, I serve on the school board to listen, support, and act -- ensuring every student has access to fair, high-quality education that prepares them for their path to success. I am committed to engaging families and the community as partners because we are stronger working together."
"Public education is the heart, soul, and bedrock of every community. It not only opens doors of opportunity, it also promotes curiosity, models empathy, and serves as a great unifying force for good and decency. We cannot fully imagine the future that's in store for our students. But what we can do is prepare them for whatever future they create and shape. From the classroom to the board room, I'm driven by this promise and possibility of public education and by the students and families we support."
"My 'Why' began with my four daughters. It was crucial they saw me engaged and prepared to advocate for them as they navigated Fayette County Public Schools. It quickly became obvious to me that my advocacy journey was preparing me for a larger purpose. FCPS not only educated my girls, but also exposed them to a vast array of adventures and opportunities. As a board member, it is my hope that all students -- and their families -- see me as a partner to ensure they have access to similar and even greater education experiences that will open doors they never thought possible."
"My service on the board is driven by my commitment to education and my belief in its power to shape our future. I care deeply about our children, families, and community, and see education as a lasting tool we can provide to help individuals reach their full potential. There is hope and strength in our future when we focus on educating our present, and I remain committed to ensuring every child can discover their potential and achieve their dreams."
