Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a veteran public school teacher. I served 13 years in the classroom before founding a non profit to help teachers. I am passionate about preserving public education and empowering our boldest and most creative teacher leaders to bring Guilford County to the forefront of education in North Carolina and the US.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

People should see Guilford County Schools as their number one choice to work in.Our students need proper nutrition to learnCommunication is the key to galvanizing the community and keeping stakeholders in the loop

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Standardized testing has to go. The mental, emotional, and physical toll it takes on teacher and students is not paying off in any way.

I believe we need to evaluate our allotment model in Guilford County. Our current model allows inequality among schools to offer courses which students are interested in taking or that might better prepare them for the future.
