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?

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. The sole purpose of school systems is to enhance student outcomes. It's imperative for CCSD to increase literacy rates, and I'm committed to working with state lawmakers to achieve this crucial goal. I firmly believe that a focus board, dedicated to student outcomes and achievement, is key to achieving our educators' and students' goals.PARENTAL RIGHTS. I prioritize community involvement and collaborative decision-making. As a board member, I'll actively listen to parents, recognizing that our schools belong to the community. I am committed to being responsive to the needs of CCSD students, parents, and teachers.SAFETY. I'm dedicated to supporting educators, ensuring their effective teaching and taking concerns about student discipline seriously. It is essential for educators to have the ability to teach effectively in their classrooms and have their concerns about student discipline taken seriously.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I'm passionate about transparency to parents and providing high-quality curriculum to students. Ensuring open communication and academic rigor are key to achieving academic success and excellence in our schools.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I have proudly served in the U.S. Air Force for the past ten years. With my background as a Flight Chief and my educational qualifications, I have developed a strong leadership foundation that enables me to excel in leadership roles.

How do you feel like your school district handled the coronavirus pandemic? What, if anything, would you do differently in the future?

I believe the school district failed our students during the coronavirus pandemic. Our schools were closed for almost two years, and our children were masked thereafter. I would have strongly stood by parental rights concerning healthcare of students. I strongly supported re-opening schools in 2020.
