Every student deserves an education that empowers & equips them to succeed. I am committed to championing student success, supporting teachers & parents, and strengthening our schools through academic excellence, inclusion, and community partnerships





Together, we can ensure all students are prepared for the future by keeping our focus on the following



Student-Centered Education: Students thrive when provided with a research-based curriculum that allows them to learn and grow at their own pace


Equipping Students for the Future: Support collaboration between the district, teachers, and families to equip all students for the three E’s after high school: full-time employment, enrollment in the armed services, and higher education


Mental Health Resources: Expand and enhance social-emotional health programs so students can access mental health resources and develop lifelong well-being skills


Inclusion of All Students: Continue to include a wide variety of cultures and perspectives in the curriculum, provide community events that showcase the diverse students & staff at Gahanna-Jefferson Schools, and ensure continued support for LGBTQIA+ students so they feel safe, included, and able to learn while being their authentic selves


Empowering Every Student: Challenge and empower students to find their passion & voice and share it with the world


School Safety: Continue to use research-based safety protocols to maintain a secure and supportive learning environment for all students


Teacher Support: Provide teachers with the time, training, and resources to learn and implement best practices in the classroom


Parent-Teacher Partnerships: Foster an atmosphere of collaboration between teachers and parents to provide the highest level of education and care for all students
