Candidate for
Board Member; Dry Creek Joint School District

With a diverse leadership and management background in both business and academia, I am extremely qualified for this position. I have founded, participated, and led several organizations and committees. These experiences have prepared me to work well with a variety of people and have helped me to represent the community on this board. Having three young children (one in First Grade at Coyote Ridge Elementary and two future students, ages 4 and 2), I have made it a priority to get involved in the education system. I continue to attend school PTA meetings and regularly volunteer in the classroom; however, my passion is to effect change and build consensus across the entire district.
