Quote: "As a lifelong resident and BHS graduate, it is an honor to have my children in Brownsburg Schools and to serve the community as a school board member. Having practiced Education Law for 20 years, I plan to meet with lawmakers to push for laws that provide more autonomy to use local practices that will allow BCSC to continue to raise the standards for success for schools in Indiana. To do this, we need to continue to hire and retain the most talented teachers, administrators, support staff and other employees who provide an incredible learning environment for our students. Everything we do as board members must be done with the mindset of how it can improve the school experience for our students."

Quote: I am excited and humbled by the opportunity to serve on the Brownsburg School Board. A strong educational foundation is undoubtedly the key to the future of our students and our community. I can’t imagine a greater privilege than advocating for our students while representing parents and teachers on important educational issues. It’s an amazing honor to be part of such a tradition of excellence, which I have experienced in many ways with my own children. My desire is not only to maintain that tradition, but to push for continuous improvement in all areas that greatly impact our student’s quality of education. I am also very passionate about cultural bridging within our school community, as the diversity of our student population has increased greatly over the past 15 years. I want our students to love learning and to embrace being challenged to reach their highest potential both academically and socially. I believe; as educators, we can measure our effectiveness by how well we prepare our students to succeed life, after high school.
