The knowledge and skills gained through developing two nonprofit foster care agencies gave me valuable knowledge and skills in the areas of fiscal decisions, policy development, HR management and contracts/audits.
What do you love most about Redlands?
The historic homes, the yearly home tours, the varied events, activities and artisan shows and the traditions honoring the family such as the Christmas and 4th of July parades.
How do you define the role you’re seeking as a RUSD School Board member?
I see the role of a school board member as providing policy development and oversight to ensure the culture of the school district is one that best represents the entire community, is highly focused on academic development and respects and protects each child. I understand the grave responsibilities involved and will give consideration to child development knowledge when making decisions and setting policy. Monitoring the Superintendent in his/her effectiveness in upholding, enforcing and enhancing all critical aspects of the district and the expectation and policies as set forth by the Board.
If elected, what would be your top three priorities as a RUSD School Board member?
Respecting the input of parents/involving parents, ensuring child abuse reporting laws are followed and inappropriate or abusive actions are addressed with the perpetrator being held accountable, and academic scores and students' abilities increase.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and the knowledge and skills gained through developing two nonprofit foster care agencies gave me valuable knowledge and skills in the areas of fiscal decisions, policy development, HR management and contracts/audits.
If elected, what is your vision for moving our community forward?
I want to see parents feeling respected, informed and confident in sending their children to public schools. I want to see much greater numbers of our children performing at grade level in academic subjects and I want to ensure students are safe, supported and challenged throughout their educational experience.
