Real results. Community focus. Proven leadership.
Over the past four years, I’ve taken action to make our schools more transparent, responsive, and student-centered. Here’s what that work has looked like - not just in meetings, but in partnerships, policies, and everyday leadership.
Behind every board decision is a lot of listening, learning, and showing up. Take a look at what my commitment looks like in action, below!
Introduced public committee reports at meetings so families can stay informed even if they can’t attend daytime sessions.
Created decision logs with the Chief Academic Officer to explain major purchases and financial decisions.
Organized and facilitated a board work session - in collaboration with board members and district administrators - to set goals around transparency and community connection, then developed a plan to turn those ideas into action.
Advocated for public discussion before a major district decision was finalized - ensuring community input was part of the process.
Pushed for monthly legislative updates from the superintendent to help families understand how state policy affects our schools.
Strengthened the superintendent evaluation process by adding qualitative and quantitative data - and including feedback from direct reports - to develop actionable SMART goals.
Initiated mid-year superintendent check-ins to track progress and adjust benchmarks.
Held monthly one-on-one meetings with the superintendent to align on board goals, district priorities, and leadership development.
Worked with the vice president to set measurable goals for our new treasurer.
Pushed for community listening sessions that gave families a voice - ultimately helping the board revisit and preserve our neighborhood schools in a financially responsible way.
Met with Milford’s new city manager to establish a strong working relationship between city and schools.
Served on PBIS and mental health special committees with staff and community members to better understand educator and student needs.
Regularly attend plays, art fairs, sporting events, field days and student showcases to stay connected to the school community beyond the boardroom.
Actively involved in PTA, Scouts, and attend community events like Flight Night, STEAM Night, and the Fine Arts signings.
Served as board representative in the hiring process for Milford High School’s new principal, offering input to ensure community values and priorities were reflected in the final decision.
Selected for the hiring committee for the district’s communications director based on my professional background in branding and design.
Helped update student handbook language for clarity and consistency.
Provided feedback on bullying resources and communications plans.
Advocated for mental health support for student-athletes after program instability.
Led efforts to strengthen student safety protocols in athletics by proposing clearer adult–student interaction guidelines and collaborating with administrators.
Supported fiscally responsible policy changes related to fee collection and instructional materials, ensuring consistency and compliance.
Oversaw the design process with students and the Chief Academic Officer to ensure the Portrait of a Staff Member graphic communicated the intended message clearly and effectively.
Committees I've Served on
I regularly attend committee meetings with staff and administrators to dive into the real work of the district – from curriculum and mental health to school buildings and budgets. It’s where the behind-the-scenes problem-solving happens, and I love being part of it.
