1.Transparent, Effective, and Accountable Leadership

Durham deserves a school board that leads with integrity, clarity, and care.
I bring a track record of collaborative leadership and a commitment to responsible governance.

I will prioritize:

  • Fiscal transparency and responsible resource management.

  • Data-informed decision-making that puts students and educators at the center.

  • Accessibility, responsiveness, and open communication with the community.

2. Families as Partners

Families are essential partners in student success. I am committed to building strong, transparent relationships between the district and the community.

I will work to:

  • Increase opportunities for parent leadership and meaningful feedback.

  • Ensure district decisions, policies, and budgeting are clear and accessible.

  • Listen intentionally to the voices of families across every neighborhood.

3. Safe, Supportive, and Inclusive School Environments

Every child deserves a school where they feel safe, valued, and supported.
I will champion policies that prioritize student well-being and inclusive school cultures.

I will advocate for:

  • Work to increase school-based mental health staff and services.

  • Clean, well-maintained, and secure school facilities.

  • Welcoming environments where all students—regardless of race, ability, language, or identity—belong.

4. Supporting Our Educators

Durham’s teachers are the backbone of our schools. With years of classroom and educator-advocacy experience, I understand what it takes to help educators thrive.

I will work to:

  • Advocate for competitive pay and improved working conditions for all school staff.

  • Reduce unnecessary administrative burdens so teachers can focus on teaching.

  • Ensure educator voice is central to district decision-making
