With all my experience in 21 years of healthcare. I have learned to be voice for the voiceless. I have an open mind and willingness to learn more as you can never stop learning something new. I will always have the willingness to work with everyone.
I strongly believe we are truly blessed that we have the most amazing teachers and staff working with our children everyday to provide the best education possible with the difficult circumstances we are in right now with the COVID19 pandemic. I understand the hardships our students face with virtual learning. Virtual learning is not an easy task for everyone as it can seriously effect a student mental health. I am a strong believer giving parents/guardians multiple options for their children education during this pandemic whether it be 4 days in person, hybrid option or completely virtual should be choices our school district should offer to make sure our schools have a safe and healthy learning environment.

Lifelong Whitehall resident and former Zephyr; strong communication skills and passion for open and truthful dialogue, especially in times of stressful, delicate matters; substantial knowledge and training in the medical and mental health fields.
Many hardships have occurred in our education system leading to loss of learning and damage to our youth’s emotional well-being. I advocate collaborating with other local districts and communities. I have worked to educate myself on the roles of a school board as well as issues not within a school board’s control. I will set a standard of respect that our youth will look to adopt. I can interpret data of unbiased medical literature. As a mental health practitioner, I am aware of the related struggles our children are facing. I will work to ensure our children have as wonderful an experience as I did as a former Zephyr. As a professional and a mother, I advocate without reservation for the option to return to full-time in-person instruction.

Love how this questions is phrased. The education of our students is paramount and a return to the classroom is absolutely necessary. While remote/virtual learning will need to be continued in some form for learning continuity, the classroom has to be a main focus for education, social development, and overall mental health of our students. This is a well rounded focus for the continual development of students and there educational pursuit.

Education and safety must always be in forefront of our decision making process.
