My Priorities

Safe & Accepting Schools

Every child deserves a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment where they can thrive. Dedicated 5 years to the safe and and accepting schools committee, championing dignity inclusion, and the well being of every child in our Catholic schools.

Catholic Values in Action

Faith, compassion, and service must guide every decision we make for our students and families. Catholic Values in Action means leading with faith, compassion, integrity, and service while fostering a welcoming school community where students can thrive academically, spiritually, and personally. As a trustee candidate and parent volunteer, I am committed to supporting families, promoting student well-being, and strengthening partnerships between schools and the community through respectful, transparent, and faith-centered leadership.

Accountability & Transparency

Strong leadership requires clear communication, responsible decision-making, and putting students first. As a trustee candidate, I believe it is important to uphold the values and traditions protected under denominational rights, while balancing those rights with the evolving needs of students, families, and educators through respectful dialogue, collaboration within the community, and transparent financial responsibility that keeps resources focused in the classroom to directly support student learning and success.

Strong Community Partnerships

Working together with families, parishes, and community organizations to support student success. A great trustee understands that strong schools and strong communities are built when people work together with a common goal of supporting education, strengthening the community, and ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed.
