My family and I have been part of the Monroe-Woodbury community for over 21 years. A large part of why we moved here was the excellent school system and we’ve been fortunate to have our two children attend school in the district.

It’s truly been an honor to serve on the Board of Education for the past six years and to give back to our community. Helping ensure our students receive a quality education experience has and always will be my highest priority. As School Board Trustee, I’ve been part of the team that helped guide the district through some complicated issues, including a computer virus attack and the global pandemic.

Under the ever-changing, extremely restrictive state guidelines, we often had to make difficult decisions. But we always put the children’s educational needs first and did as much as possible under the circumstances to provide quality learning opportunities and activities.

Moving forward, I believe the Board’s primary objective should be evaluating the effects that long-term remote learning has had on our students and identifying the best options we can use to improve their academic opportunities and achievements in the future. I humbly ask for your vote on May 18th.
