I am a proud parent of two Rochester Community School students, a former teacher, and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® with a strong commitment to our students and community. As a parent of two boys in the district and an active community member, I experience firsthand the importance of a school system that supports students academically, socially, and emotionally.

My professional background in education and financial planning provides a unique perspective on the Board of Education. As a former teacher, I understand the realities of the classroom and the need to support educators in meaningful, practical ways. As a financial planner, I bring experience in budgeting, long-term planning, and responsible financial oversight, ensuring that decisions are made with both accountability and sustainability in mind.

I am an active volunteer in our schools and community - through various non-profits, the PTA, and volunteering as a basketball coach, working directly with students and families. These experiences have reinforced my belief that strong schools are built through collaboration, trust, and open communication between families, educators, and leadership.

My focus is on student-centered, data-driven decision-making, transparency at all levels, and maintaining the long-term financial health of the district. I believe school boards must listen to families, ask thoughtful questions, and make decisions that reflect the best interests of all students.

I am committed to helping Rochester Community Schools serve every student and every family with integrity and purpose.
