As a parent of three children—two currently enrolled in Mead schools and one who graduated in 2021—I’ve seen firsthand the impact our schools have on preparing students for life after graduation. I want every student in our district to have access to the tools, opportunities, and support they need to succeed in whatever path they choose—college, trades, military, or the workforce. 

​

With 24 years of experience in the manufacturing industry, I understand the skills that employers are looking for and the importance of aligning our education system with the demands of the real world. I'm also deeply involved in youth sports, where I’ve learned the value of teamwork, accountability, and mentorship—all of which apply to how we support our schools.

​

This is about more than test scores or policies—it’s about ensuring Mead remains one of the most desirable districts in the region by fostering strong partnerships between parents, educators, and students. Families are the foundation of our community, and our schools are where our kids learn to build their futures. That’s why I’m stepping up to serve.
