I am running for Everett School Board of Directors Position 3 because I believe that every student deserves to feel like they belong in our school and to be empowered to succeed. Together we can make our schools a better place for students and teachers by creating a school board that engages with the community and operationalizes and injects community feedback into every decision. I was motivated to run by students, parents, grandparents, teachers and school staff who care deeply about our schools and believe we can do better.
