ABOUT ME
Why I am running for office:
My purpose in life is to “Educate & Inspire".
I am running to ensure that going forward Frederick County Public Schools will excel at inspiring its learners, not only to meet the challenges posed by educational standards, but those posed by the world. As a member of the Board of Education, I will seek to initiate and support programs that place our students in positions of state, national and global leadership. I will support our educators in teaching our students how to problem-solve in order to express their gifts in a way that prepares them for success in a world with demands we have yet to encounter.
