Im the luckiest! Just look at this HUG! I LOST the School Board race! Gosh!! I know!! It’s disappointing- But It was still such a great night. And a great run! We celebrated and I feel the tinge of victory for everything we accomplished, for every person I met, for sounding the trumpet and casting light into dark corners. I already know I was the girl for the job. I felt so much support, thank you for all your support and love, I can’t wait to see what God has in store for me next!! ❤️🙌🏼

Less than 48 hours to go! After achieving a degree in Biology, I got married and started my family. We made sacrifices for me to stay home and raise our children. I can take a stand with our children’s best interests because I am someone who has always sought to make life better for kids. As I raised my family I have consistently volunteered throughout the schools and community.
My other professional and volunteer activities include Life Coach: Begin Again; Classroom Volunteer and Room Mom: SPS; PTG Member: SPS;  Cub Committee Chair: Boys Scouts of America; Youth Basketball and Volleyball Coach: SYSA; Volunteer: Younglives; 18 years in global church organization as President of Young Women’s Organization (ages 11-18); President of Primary Organization for 7 congregations (ages 18mos-11); Life Skills and Resiliency Committee; Courageous Parenting Workshops. I currently teach a daily high school religion class.

I am in the thick of parenting like most of you! We are busy. We are concerned. Together we can have a voice. I believe that the best way to continue to take care of my family and other children is to be on the School Board advocating for their best interests. I will be bring that fresh perspective to the Spokane School Board. Three more days!

What is the district up to?  Transparency on all levels keeps everything out in the open and creates understaning.  This allows all to participate and see if their voices are being heard.  Parents, teachers, and the community all like to see a clearer picture of the decisions coming out of the School Board.  We want to know that efforts are being made to move our kids’ educations forward.  We want to see the steps that are being taken, so we can discuss them and make sure the promises set are being carried out.

We all have a voice, but is it being heard? I have a unique viewpoint having 4 children in elementary, junior high, and high school in SPS, and one that graduated from Ferris High School in 2020.
I battled for my oldest child who has dyslexia. He fought hard for his education because he was dyslexic — working through tutors, teachers, counselors, and vice-principals. We deliberated in IEP meetings and adjusted 504 plans. I had to fight for this great kid. He often flew under the radar. He is very smart, but couldn’t always translate that in his homework. Just as I did for my own son, I will make sure you are getting the education you desire for your children.
I currently teach a daily religion class to high school students. I hear of their struggles and disappointments. I watch the weight of depression or the uncertainties of our country pull them down with feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. I see them wear compassion on their sleeves as they want all voices to be heard and want equality across the board — I hear them and I don’t want to be on the sidelines in discussions any longer. I will sound my voice in School Board meetings and make sure the students’ voices are validated. I will ensure that a plan is set in motion for their benefit.
