And more...
As Oak Creek-Franklin continues to grow, it’s more important than ever to ensure our schools keep up with the needs of our students and families. A strong community starts with strong schools, where every child feels safe, supported, and empowered to succeed.
As a proud mother and foster parent, I’ve learned that kids teach us just as much as we teach them. They remind us of the importance of safe spaces, structure, and opportunity-things every child in Oak Creek Franklin School District deserves.
As a first-generation college student and Pell Grant recipient, I know how life-changing access to education can be. My mother worked three jobs to give me the opportunities she never had, and I want to ensure every student in our district has the support and resources they need to reach their full potential.
I’m running for the Oak Creek Franklin School Board because as our community grows, we must remain committed to building a stronger district that meets the needs of every family and community member. Together, we can ensure Oak Creek-Franklin remains a place where students thrive, teachers feel valued, families stay engaged, and the community comes together.

THE WHY
Advocating for Student Well-being
Students thrive when they feel safe, supported, and valued in their learning environment. Prioritizing mental health resources and anti-bullying initiatives ensures that every student has the opportunity to succeed. Strong partnerships between schools, families, and the community help create a network of support for students facing academic and personal challenges. By fostering a culture of respect, empathy, and engagement, we can equip students with the tools they need for lifelong success. Advocating for their well-being means ensuring they have access to the resources, guidance, and encouragement necessary to reach their full potential.
Empowering Teachers and Staff
Teachers and staff are the foundation of a thriving school system, and their success directly impacts student outcomes. By providing competitive salaries, professional development opportunities, and the resources they need, we can ensure they feel valued and supported. Open communication and collaboration between educators and leadership foster a culture of trust and innovation. When teachers and staff are empowered, they can focus on delivering high-quality education and creating a positive learning environment. Investing in their growth and well-being ultimately benefits our students, schools, and the entire community.
Championing for Sufficient Funding for Our Schools
Ensuring sufficient funding for our schools is essential to providing students with the resources they need to succeed. Adequate funding supports smaller class sizes, up-to-date technology, and well-maintained facilities, creating an optimal learning environment. It also ensures that teachers and staff receive fair compensation, helping to attract and retain high-quality educators. Investing in schools strengthens the entire community by preparing students for future careers and civic engagement. Advocating for responsible budgeting and funding ensures that every child, regardless of background, has access to a high-quality education.
Strengthening Community and Family Engagement
Building strong connections between schools, families, and the community is essential for student success. Open communication and collaboration between the school board, parents, and community members ensure that decisions reflect shared values and priorities. When families are actively involved in their children’s education, student achievement, well-being, and overall school climate improve. By fostering partnerships and encouraging transparency, we create a supportive educational environment. Together, we can ensure that every student receives the resources, guidance, and opportunities needed to thrive.
Leading with Integrity
As a nurse leader, I have developed the ability to manage resources responsibly, solve complex problems, and lead with accountability. Integrity means making decisions based on transparency, fairness, and what is best for students, teachers, and the community. I will bring my skills in strategic decision-making and fiscal responsibility to ensure that our schools operate efficiently and ethically. By prioritizing honesty and ethical leadership, I will foster trust and collaboration between the school board and the community. Together, we can create an educational environment where every decision is made with integrity and a focus on student success.
