Thank you for visiting my website. Your vote will give us the opportunity to shape, influence and contribute to important decisions regarding our children’s education. As the proud mother of an Alexandria City Public Schools student – with another one on the way – I am excited about serving my community where I’ve lived for the past 10 years, a community I care deeply about.
My goal is to put Alexandria’s children first – where they belong! As our future leaders, we need to ensure the educational needs of all of Alexandria’s children are being met. I want to make Alexandria’s school system even better than it is today. I am focused on three areas:
- > Identify ways to close achievement gaps among our students
- > Recruit and retain high quality teachers
- > Ensure our children not only get a great, basic education
but learn the skills to
become responsible, contributing and successful citizens in the global economy
I look forward to meeting many more Alexandrians over the coming months, and invite you to learn more about me and why I will be a great leader for the Alexandria School Board.

| Running for School Board is not quite like running for Congress, but it still takes resources to purchase ads, signs, literature and other campaign necessities. Please send a contribution to help me put our children first! | |
