My priorities are strong academic growth, safe and well-maintained facilities, responsible budgeting and smart use of technology in teaching and learning. We must protect strong instruction, keep buildings ready for students, spend with discipline and transparency, and use modern tools to strengthen teaching, personalize support and prepare students for what is next.

I’m deeply connected to Ferguson-Florissant. I graduated from McCluer North in 2009 and attended Wedgwood and Cross Keys. Now my daughter is growing up in the same district that shaped me. I take this responsibility seriously and want schools where every student feels supported and can thrive.

1). Student safety and well-being: we must have safe, orderly schools where teachers can teach and students can learn. 2). Student achievement: students deserve quality teachers. We must maintain/exceed our accreditation, graduation and attendance rates and prepare our scholars to be college/career ready. 3). Financial stability: we must better compensate our entire staff.

I'm a retired educator (31 years). I've served as a teacher, counselor, early childhood coordinator and principal. I was an elementary principal in the Ferguson-Florissant district for 15 years, an UMSL adjunct professor and served four terms on the board and reached the highest level of certification by the Missouri School Boards Association. Resident for 39 years.
