Educator. Financial Professional. Dedicated Leader.
As a full-time accounting professor, certified school administrator, and longtime career and technical education (CTE) teacher, I bring decades of real-world educational and financial experience to the Taylor School Board.
A 20-year Taylor resident and proud parent of a family of six, I hold a B.S. in Accounting alongside master’s degrees in education technology and public administration. With over 25 years in the classroom, I understand what teachers need to succeed, how to manage public budgets responsibly, and how to prepare Taylor students for college, trade careers, and future workforce opportunities.
Thank you for visiting my campaign website. I am running for the Taylor School Board because I believe every student deserves access to a safe, supportive, and high-quality education. Together, we can build stronger schools and a stronger community for current and future generations.
