What is your occupation?
As a strategic operations and financial leader, I partner across Tax, Finance, IT, and Operations to improve client financial outcomes, optimize business processes, and drive enterprise-wide initiatives. With over 18 years of experience in professional services, I leverage collaboration, analytics, and technology to increase profitability, strengthen accountability, and deliver sustainable business results. My leadership approach centers on developing people, simplifying complexity, and creating a culture of continuous improvement that empowers teams to perform at their highest potential.
Why do you want to be a member of the ISD 108 School Board?
I believe strong schools are built through responsible leadership, fiscal accountability, community partnership, and a commitment to student success. My experience leading teams, managing financial performance, and driving meaningful change has prepared me to help guide our district's future while keeping students, families, and educators at the center of every decision.
What qualities will you bring to the board if elected?
My professional background has centered on helping organizations achieve better outcomes through strategic leadership, financial stewardship, collaboration, and continuous improvement. For more than 18 years, I have led complex initiatives, managed financial performance, and built strong partnerships across diverse stakeholder groups. These experiences have prepared me to serve as a thoughtful, accountable school board member who will listen to the community, make data-informed decisions, and advocate for students, educators, and families while ensuring responsible management of district resources.
What do you believe is the most important issue facing education today?
I believe two of the most important issues facing the education industry today are funding and teacher recruitment and retention. Balancing increasing student and operational needs with limited financial resources. School districts must provide high-quality instruction, attract and retain talented educators, support student and teacher well-being, invest in technology, and maintain facilities, all while being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars. Effective governance requires thoughtful financial planning, transparency, and a focus on ensuring every investment contributes to teacher and student success.
