Why I’m Running
A Vision For Pontiac Students
I am running for Pontiac School Board because every child deserves access to a quality education, a safe learning environment, and opportunities to succeed.
As a small business owner, nonprofit founder, and community advocate, I have dedicated my career to helping families access resources, technology, workforce development, and educational opportunities.
I believe our schools should prepare students for college, skilled trades, entrepreneurship, military service, and successful careers.
Together we can build stronger schools, stronger families, and a stronger Pontiac.
