Hey there 👋🏼
I’m running for re-election to the Oconto Falls School Board because I care deeply about our schools and this community.

Over the past three years, I’ve worked to serve with focus, integrity, and a commitment to doing what’s best for our students, families, and staff. I’ve been part of important work in our district; building our new middle school under budget, supporting our amazing educators, helping improve our district report card, and investing in meaningful professional development that strengthens our classrooms.

I’ve also learned that this role isn’t about quick or easy decisions. It’s about showing up, asking thoughtful questions, listening, and staying grounded in facts while keeping the long-term success of our district at the center.

As both a board member and a parent in this community, I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’m committed to continuing this work with steady, thoughtful leadership.

I would be so honored to earn your support and your vote on Tuesday, April 7th.

🧡🧡🧡🧡

I am filled with immense gratitude.

Thank you for showing up for me yesterday. Now it's my turn to show up for our kids and the amazing staff at Oconto Falls School District.

I'm ready to do some good 🧡

Why am I running for School Board? I'd love to tell you!

I feel it's a privilege to be given the opportunity to represent the district in this role. The moment I became a mother, I vowed to raise my children in an environment where they feel loved, supported, and are given every reasonable opportunity to succeed. I am proud of the effort by the staff of OFSD that vow for the same thing. I’m running because I desire to be a part of that collective effort; to serve not just my own children, but all the young people of this community and ensure they are given every reasonable opportunity to grow and thrive.

"What role, or suggestions, do you feel the Board of Education should take in attracting and retaining quality teachers and staff?"

Staff Retention in our schools is a major issue right now. See my comments below on how I would address this.

Increased open communication and transparency has been talked about by district administration and the board with staff and the community. See the comments below of my view of current practices and how do you think this can be improved upon.

What was your own, personal "school" story? Where did you go to school? What were the things you enjoyed the most? Was there an educator that made an impression on you and if so how?

I'll post my response in the comments below!

Over the last few weeks, the OFSD SB candidates were given the opportunity to answer some questions about the climate of our school district, and other general topics about public schools across the nation. These well thought-out questions deserved well thought-out answers so I will be posting the Q&As here to make sure others have the opportunity to see my thoughts. Stay tuned!
