For the Future Success of Our Children & Our Community
As a parent and community member, I believe that our schools are the foundation for the future success of our children and our community. That's why I am running for school director - to ensure that our schools are providing the best possible education for our students and preparing them for the challenges of tomorrow.

profile
I am a Lehigh Valley native, residing in Center Valley for the past 20 years with my husband and our daughter who attends 4th grade in SLSD. I graduated from Moravian College and was a national competitor in two sports.
Throughout my life, I've been surrounded by public education. I have seen firsthand the challenges and triumphs that come with this field and have made it my mission to help schools overcome their obstacles. As a professional in education, I work tirelessly to ensure that schools have access to the best tools and resources available. I've collaborated with school districts across the country, sharing my expertise and knowledge to improve the quality of education for all.
My passion for education goes beyond working with school districts, as I also coached at both the collegiate and youth levels. I understand the impact that educators and coaches can have on their students, and I strive to be a positive influence in their lives. I began my career working with adolescents at KidsPeace National Center for Kids in Crisis.
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and you can always find me soaking up the sun or being active. My passion for education, coaching, and being a positive role model is contagious, and I hope to be an inspiration to all.
my commitment
"Together, I believe that we can create a brighter future for our students, one where they are empowered to learn, grow, and achieve their full potential. Thank you for considering my candidacy, and I look forward to the opportunity to make a difference in our community."
