Position/philosophy statement
I would like to continue the support of our school system by working with educators and the community to provide the best opportunities to our greatest resource for the future, our children.
Current Occupation
Senior Area Manager
Age (optional)
51
I have strong experience in project management. Managing large teams and meeting financial budgets. I am a strong communicator and recognize opportunities for improvement and managing through challenging moments. Additionally, I have a vested interest in the success of our schools as I have a child attending Hawks Nest Steam Academy. I also believe in the teachers that bring the best out of our children every day.
Supporting educators and children. Making sure they have the best resources available, the safest environment possible, and acknowledging their success and building from challenges.
Fiscal responsibility, planning for the growth within the county, continuing the advancement of our students both personally and academically.
We need to work within our community to support our teachers and students where state and county agencies can’t. I would like to work with businesses to adopt schools. Providing support with supplies and events. Engaging the community as we grow.
It definitely gatarts children on the right path. However I am more interested in after school programs once they are in the system.
