About the Candidate 

I am a currently a Grand Island Board of Education trustee and am seeking re-election.


I am also a parent, attorney and homeowner in the Town of Grand Island and am asking for your vote for one of the open positions on the Grand Island School Board.


While serving on the school board, over the past nine (9) years together as a board, we hired our new superintendent, hired new district attorneys and scaled down attorney’s fees, previously settled union and employment contracts and are actively working on current contracts, re-instituted the dissemination of flyers for student, community activities and groups, navigated through the pandemic, as well as all eight years of the budget passing, with the upcoming budget vote to occur on May 21, 2024,  among many other progressive actions that benefitted our schools and children.


As a parent, I have an interest our school system and know the decisions made in the next few years will affect my daughter’s education.  I want to participate in those decisions to work with the other board members, administration, teachers, parents and our community to make our school system the best it can be.


As an attorney, I have been admitted to practice law for over twenty-one (21) years and can bring my professional expertise to good use on the school board with compromise, compassion, professionalism, legal experience, and analytical skills to work with others to achieve results.


As a homeowner, I have firm roots in our town and care about my neighbors, community and school system as I experience along with my daughter growing up on Grand Island.


I am endorsed by the Grand Island Teachers Association and I ask for your vote on election day.
