Mead School District
Board of Directors Position No. 1
I believe school boards must work transparently and collaboratively with families, staff, and students.
I’m committed to listening and leading with integrity, and ensuring our schools prepare every student for success in life, college, and their career.
About Me
I am a longtime resident of North Spokane, dedicated to educational excellence. With a strong background in community service, I advocate for safe, high-performing schools, that prepare all students for success. I believe, “There’s no greater gift that a community can give than an education that includes rigor and accountability.”
I support transparent governance, fiscal responsibility, and policies that empower teachers, students, and families. I am committed to maintaining high academic standards while listening to the concerns of parents, educators, and students.
My vision is strong schools, strong students, and a stronger Mead community.
Priorities
Safe Environments
Safe and inclusive environments in schools are crucial for fostering belonging and respect among students. By prioritizing these values, schools empower all students to express themselves and engage in their education. This approach enhances academic performance and promotes emotional well-being, creating a community where every student feels valued and supported.

Sustainable Policies
When educators feel valued, they invest more in their students' success. Policies that ensure fair compensation and professional development enhance job satisfaction and improve student outcomes, creating a stronger educational system.
Academic Outcomes
Improving academic outcomes is vital for empowering students and success. Better performance boosts confidence and opens doors to future opportunities. By focusing on effective strategies, we cultivate a culture of achievement that benefits both individuals and the community.
