A Vision for St. Louis Park
My focus will be simple: students, staff, and families should all feel supported and empowered. By centering belonging, supporting educators, strengthening partnerships, and advancing equity, we can build schools that reflect the best of our community.
Belonging for All Students
Safe, welcoming schools where every student can bring their whole self
Supporting Educators
Fair pay, manageable workloads, resources for teaching; not expecting teachers to be everything all at once
Family & Community Partnerships
Strong school-community collaboration to reduce barriers and support student success
Equity & Access
Removing systemic barriers, ensuring every child has the same opportunity to thrive
Equity & Access
True equity means addressing the systemic barriers that prevent students from reaching their full potential. From special education to school climate programs, my work has always centered on creating systems that are fair, compassionate, and person-centered. I will continue this work on the school board to ensure that every student has equal access to opportunity.
Belonging for All Students
Every child should feel safe, seen, and valued at school. Belonging isn’t just about inclusion—it’s about ensuring that students can bring their whole selves into the classroom and access their education without barriers. When students feel like they belong, they learn, grow, and thrive.
Supporting Educators
Teachers are at the heart of student success, yet too often we ask them to do more with less. They are expected to be parents, mental health providers, and disciplinarians, on top of teaching. I believe in giving educators the resources, fair pay, and benefits they need to focus on what they do best: teaching and preparing the next generation of learners.
Family & Community Partnerships
When schools and families work together, students succeed. My experience shows that breaking down barriers, whether in housing, healthcare, or mental health, creates stronger outcomes for everyone. I will prioritize partnerships that connect families with the supports they need so students can focus on learning.
