Why I’m running
I bring a unique combination of experience, investment, passion, and pragmatism to bear on the issues that will come before the school board - especially as QV completes the modernization of its school facilities in the coming years. As a homeowner and a parent to four kids in QV, I’m sensitive to both the immediate and long-term costs and benefits of maintaining our outstanding public education system for our community, and I’ll work hard to protect QV’s academic excellence and the livability of the community it serves.
