I am running to serve on the Maplewood-Richmond Heights School Board to support students, to empower parents, and to ensure that teachers and staff have the resources they need to educate, care, and inspire for generations to come. As a School Board member, I will prioritize collaboration, equity, stewardship, and learning. As a parent and educator with professional experience in university teaching and administration, I know I can make meaningful contributions to student learning, teacher support, and other aspects of district policy. Please donate to fund my campaign for School Board so we can work together to help every kid in our district thrive. 

My why is pretty simple. All children deserve to be safe, supported, and educated. No matter their race, gender, sexuality, family income, religion, the language they speak at home, their learning style, where they live, what support they need to succeed, how they get to school, or whether their families are brand new to the district or have been here for years. Every kid. No exception. Public education–thriving, sustainable public education–is the heart and soul of our democracy and also of our little community. I believe in both. MRH is the best that public education offers to children and their families and I want to be part of safeguarding this district’s hard-fought legacies while finding solutions to today’s challenges. 

I am running now, in this election, because serving on the school board is one meaningful way I can give back a fraction of what MRH has given to me and my family at a moment when public education needs strong, informed, and unflappable advocates. Now that both of my kids are in high school, I’ve had more time to reflect on the village that has helped me raise them. As a single mom, I wasn’t always able to attend PTO meetings or chaperone field trips or even keep lunch accounts current. But MRH didn’t let my kids fall through the cracks. Teachers and counselors and therapists and coaches and principals and nurses and others, from the ECC through today, have provided not only an education but a community that my kids will carry with them well beyond graduation. I want nothing less for every child who comes through MRH. 

MRH is an amazing community and we are all in this together. Your contributions help buy mailers, yard signs, and other campaign materials and also help support neighbors on the ground who host events and knock on doors. I am so excited to run for the opportunity to serve you on the School Board. Thank you for your support!
