Why are you running?

As a District 196 graduate, I know what it’s like to be a student in our community. I would provide an entirely new perspective to the board as a woman of color and recent graduate. During the past election seasons, I noticed that there was a voice missing from the board. That voice being of the first-hand student experience in our district. It is incredibly important to keep District 196 students at the forefront of every decision that is made. I have recent personal experiences in understanding how board decisions go into action and the impact that they have on our students. I look forward to serving my hometown community in a way that is dear to my heart – progressing 196’s values of quality, equitable education and career readiness. Together we can continue working toward providing infinite opportunities for each and every student.
