For Our Kids: My passion for public education is deeply personal. As a special needs parent, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities within our schools. I believe that every child—regardless of their background, abilities, or interests—deserves a high-quality education that prepares them for success. My work on the Board of Education has been focused on ensuring our district provides innovative solutions and leverages resources to support all students, from the classroom to their post-graduation journeys, as seen with my founding of the Burger Books Scholarship.

​

Their Education: As a "Chief Strategy Connoisseur," my focus is on strategic leadership and innovation to elevate our district's educational standards. I've used my experience to bridge the gap between our district and essential resources, bringing a fresh, results-oriented perspective to policy and planning. By leveraging my military training and my professional background in marketing and human resources, I am committed to fostering a learning environment that is both innovative and effective, preparing our students for a rapidly changing world.

​

For Our Educators and Schools: Our educators are the heart of our community. I believe in providing them with the support, resources, and professional development they need to excel. My experience in leadership at the state level with the Ohio School Boards Association and my recognition with the OSBA Training Award demonstrate my commitment to continuous improvement. I will continue to advocate for our schools and our dedicated staff, ensuring they have the tools to inspire and educate the next generation.

​

Safety and Trust: A safe and secure learning environment is non-negotiable. My military background has instilled in me a deep understanding of security and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of our students and staff. I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure our schools are places of trust, where families feel confident in sending their children, and where everyone feels protected and respected. My leadership is built on integrity and a proven track record of service to our community, which has earned me the trust of my colleagues and constituents.
