My B.S. Degree in Finance was training for budgeting and leveraging dollars for the highest benefits. My career as a Marriage Crisis Coach prepares me to be relational in managing conflict and I am currently on the ISD 622 Community Education Advisory Council so I have experience in reviewing budgets and their impact on critical programs. I was born, raised, and currently live (and pay property taxes) in 622. I have a passion for literacy and learning and for Every child to grow their skills to meet their hopes and dreams for their future. The future of our communinity rests with these kids being healthy, happy citizens.
Improving Academics (Literacy, Math, understanding Science, along with Civics, the Arts, and Athletics). Physical and Emotional Safety. Create an Environment of Enjoying the Challenges and Delights in Learning.
Protecting class sizes and maintaining student programming is my top priority. Maintaining safety, and student services too. Each area will have to be evaluated for how to leverage the budget to get the most results for the highest benefits.
There is no room for not treating every child with dignity, respect, and opportunity. If it comes to my attention that needs are not being met because of a lack of sufficient support, I will address the underlying reasons and seek the resources needed to correct deficiencies.
I will listen first for their fears and concerns while honoring their perspectives for solutions. Once those are identified and heard, any possible polarities can be identified for managing. It's critical to leverage positive values from all parties while monitoring for the warning signs of the negatives that are feared.

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota and North Dakota crafted the questions sent to the candidates in the Spring of 2024. They reached out to candidates based on contact information in their public candidate filings. Candidates with email addresses were invited and reminded with emails. Candidates with only mailing addresses were sent a letter. Candidates with phone numbers received a phone call as well.

Candidate responses are published as they responded and have not been edited, except when responses were longer than the given character limit. In those cases, the responses are truncated.

VOTE411 is brought to you by the League of Women Voters Education Fund and League of Women Voters of Minnesota Education Fund. The League of Women Voters does not support or oppose any political party or candidate for office.
