Questions & Answers

1. What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit)

My work background is sales and customer service. I have been active for over 20 years as a school volunteer: classroom volunteer, in PTA, Fundraising, School Levies and as MSF Auction Chair. For the past 4 years I have served on the BOE Building & Grounds and Community Relations committees.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

I'm committed to uphold Madeira's tradition of excellence-our curriculum, our community's standards, our expectations. We must continue to hire highly qualified teachers and administrators who will keep Madeira among the state's top rated schools. We must continue to support our board representative and superintendent to lobby the general assembly for laws that will benefit our schools. We must maintain open communications with our community.

3. What will you do as a Board of Education member to increase parental involvement in your school system? (100 word limit)

We are extremely fortunate to have dedicated parent volunteers who already spend countless hours helping our schools. I would continue our BOE tradition of maintaining open communications with our parents and continue to recognize them for donating their time and talents.
