I’m running because I’ve seen firsthand how great educators can change a child’s trajectory, including my own son’s. I bring 20+ years of leadership experience in engineering, business, nonprofit service, and financial management. As a bilingual Lawrence Township parent, I’m committed to supporting educators and expanding opportunities for every student. I will make a priority to develop a relationship with our state legislators on both sides of the isle.
My priority is retaining the excellent teachers we already have while attracting new talent. I will trust our superintendent and staff to lead recruitment while the Board provides resources and accountability. I support competitive compensation, professional growth, teacher input, strong university partnerships, and ensuring educators feel valued, supported, and heard.
Students cannot learn at their highest level unless they feel safe, supported, and respected. My role on the Board is to set expectations, approve appropriate resources, review safety and well-being outcomes, and hold the administration accountable. I will trust the superintendent and professional staff to manage daily safety operations and implement those priorities.
My priority is protecting classrooms, teachers, and essential student services. As a Board member, I would review budgets, monitor spending and reserves, question major investments, and measure programs against student outcomes. I would trust our superintendent and CFO to manage operations while ensuring transparency, accountability, and long-term financial stability.
I strongly support public education and respect families’ choices. My priority is ensuring state policies do not weaken traditional public schools like Lawrence Township. Public dollars should require transparency, accountability, and measurable student outcomes. As a Board member, I will advocate for fair funding and our district’s long-term academic and financial strength.

I have dedicated my 30-plus-year career to education. Holding a Master’s degree in Educational Administration and having served in district leadership, I understand school operations from the classroom up. As a mother of an LC student and your current At-Large School Board Member, I combine a deep personal investment with proven governance experience. I am uniquely equipped to break down barriers, support our educators, and ensure every MSDLT student receives an exceptional, equitable education.
Attracting and retaining top educators requires a complete, supportive ecosystem. First, we must maintain highly competitive salaries and benefits. Second, we must ensure educators have high-quality curricula, manageable workloads, robust support staff, and meaningful professional development. Third, we must continue to invest in programs for developing future educators. Finally, retaining staff demands a culture of respect, feedback, and support.
True safety requires a dual focus on secure physical environments and healthy school cultures. We must analyze and replicate conditions across MSDLT that foster welcoming, inclusive, and anti-bullying environments. We must expand access to mental health services and actively monitor new service providers to ensure maximum student support. Finally, we need to provide professional development to help address students' social-emotional needs that are grounded in feedback from stakeholders.
Taxpayer dollars must be utilized efficiently, responsibly, and with maximum direct impact on the classroom. Student safety takes priority,instruction, and competitive staff compensation. We balance budget constraints by building strong community partnerships to support programs outside the regular school day and utilizing strategic grant opportunities.
I advocate for strict policies that enforce a level playing field—requiring charter schools to meet the exact same standards of financial transparency, academic reporting, and comprehensive services for Special Education and ENL learners as traditional public schools. MSDLT will continue to protect its resources by showcasing our superior academic and career pathways, proving why traditional public schools remain the best choice for Lawrence Township families.
No. Neither I nor any member of my immediate family has any professional, financial, organizational, or significant connection to a charter school or charter school organization.
