Excellence in Education for a Brighter Future & Stronger Community

Common Sense, Common Purpose

Parting Thoughts-
with Gratitude 

Thank you, Shawnee District

As this campaign comes to a close, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who supported me along the way family, friends, volunteers, and every member of our community who shared their time, encouragement, and belief in the importance of strong public schools.

I entered this race because I believe in the power of public education to inspire growth, strengthen our economy, and bring people together. That belief hasn’t changed in fact, it’s stronger than ever. While the results weren’t what we hoped for, the conversations we’ve had and the connections we’ve built reaffirm my commitment to ensuring that every student in Frederick County can succeed supported by excellent teachers, dedicated administrators, and a community that truly cares.
For more than 25 years, I’ve worked as a Technology Program Manager and Delivery Executive, solving complex problems through collaboration and forward-thinking solutions. I remain dedicated to bringing that same spirit of problem-solving and service to our schools and our community in any way I can.
I will continue advocating for an even better experience for our youngest son and for every student in our community.  Strong schools build strong communities. Even though this campaign has ended, our shared commitment to that vision continues.  

Thank you again for your support, your trust, and your belief in the future of Frederick County.  

Recruiting & Retaining high-quality teachers

By offering competitive salaries and fostering a growth mindset through continuous professional development. This also includes supporting non-classroom personnel, like counselors and administrators.

Providing alternatives to college

For students whose strengths and interests lie outside traditional academic paths, it’s essential that we provide meaningful support and elevate alternative pathways like Career & Technical Education (CTE) that align with their talents and goals. By recognizing the value of these options, we empower all students to thrive and contribute meaningfully to their futures and our communities.

Striving for excellence, not just adequacy

Engaging with parents, students, and community members to create a collaborative environment that supports educational excellence—grounded in professionalism, compassion, and empathy—while promoting transparency in school operations and curriculum to foster trust, informed participation, and shared accountability.

Parental Rights

Parents are partners in education- not obstacles. I support curriculum review & informed of decisions impacting your child's health & wellbeing.

School Safety

Every child deserves a safe learning environment. I Support SROs in every school. Implement proactive security measures and address mental health & social media impacts on schools.

Fiscal Responsbility

As a member of the Citizen's Finance Advisory Committee, I've seen where we can improve. I will direct funds to the classrooms, not bureaucracy. Ensure competitive teacher pay and eliminate ineffective programs.
