I am running for Crystal Lake District 47 School Board in the April 1st, 2025 election.

As a grandmother of six, three currently in elementary school, one in middle school, and one in District 155, I am deeply committed to ensuring that all children have access to a high-quality and uplifting education.

I envision an educational environment that fosters acceptance and inclusion for all, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic background.

I also believe in instilling core human values such as integrity, honesty, and empathy, which are essential traits for personal and community trust and growth.

I bring 44 years of corporate operations experience to the table, which I aim to leverage in building a strong, collaborative team focused on advancing the district’s educational goals.

My mission is to promote a robust education platform that addresses the diverse needs of students, faculty, and all those who contribute to the success of our schools. This includes every individual—students, teachers, bus drivers, senior faculty, cafeteria staff, nurses, and counselors—each of whom plays an invaluable role in our community's success.

I am committed to ensuring everyone has a voice and a role in shaping a thriving educational environment.

Thank you for your support!
