My priorities as a Houghton-Portage Township Schools Board of Education trustee are to serve our students’ best interests through responsible governance and to represent the community through deliberate listening.

I believe that high-quality public education strengthens students and the greater community. All schools deserve a board filled with respectful leaders working to advocate for the success of students, teachers, staff, and taxpayers. I am committed to serving our school district and community wholeheartedly and with full presence.
My qualifications include nine years of service on the HPTS Board of Education. During my tenure, I’ve focused on continuous professional development, earning the Michigan Association of School Boards’ Award of Distinction. Professionally, I lead a corporate accounting organization for a global retailer. My 24 years of industry experience give me a broad perspective to leverage in my board service.

My family is deeply connected to the Keweenaw and our school district. Having lived here for nearly 15 years, we proudly have three current HPTS students and one Gremlin graduate.
