A BRIGHTER FUTURE
Let's Make a Difference
ABOUT ME
Putting My Experience
to Work
I’m running for the Brandywine School Board because I believe every child deserves a quality education, every teacher deserves respect and resources, and every family deserves a voice.
Our children’s future is shaped not just in classrooms, but in the decisions we make as a community. I’ve spent my life fighting for fairness, advocating for children, and working to make government more responsive, transparent, and compassionate. Now, I want to bring that same commitment to the school board.
As a former Education major, mother of four public school graduates, and a lifelong learner myself, I know firsthand how powerful a great education can be—and how devastating it is when the system doesn’t meet a child’s needs.
I’ve led complex budgets, created policies that protect communities, and stood up for families across our county.But this work isn’t about politics. It’s about people—our children, our teachers, our future.
Brandywine students deserve more than test prep and statistics—they deserve opportunity, support, creativity, and a school system that meets them where they are and lifts them up. I want to help make that happen.
Together, we can make Brandywine a model of what public education can and should be.
Let’s build something great—for them, for us, for tomorrow”.
