Public education has an incredible duty as it aims to responsibly grow our children, our future. As a former educator and current School Board Director, I am well-versed in the difficult task of providing high-quality education for all students while both supporting teachers and advocating for our kids. The State of Colorado has a big role to play in funding, testing, teacher and school performance matters, and I will make sure this work is done in an equitable manner that best serves our teachers, our students, and their families. My unique position of having a direct connection with the largest school district in Colorado gives me the necessary lens to exact needed change at the State level where I hope to bring my experience as an educator to the Education Committee. I am honored to have the endorsement of the Colorado Education Association and will work closely with them as we support our teachers and strive to give every child what they need to succeed.
