My teaching career has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of my life. I have served on school and community committees in an effort to improve the educational environment in Salt Lake City. My hope in serving on the Salt Lake City School Board is to bring an integrated point of view, that of a parent, community member, and educator, to aid in ensuring the best education for every child. My children attended Indian Hills Elementary, Clayton Middle School, and East High School, and I taught in Rose Park. I have a grasp of the strengths and challenges of the district as a whole. I look forward to answering your questions and showing you how I can represent our children.
