I am an advocate for kids—always have been, and always will be. From mentoring advanced students to help them gain admission to top colleges across the country, to standing up for our most vulnerable kids as a volunteer and supporter in our district Teen Centers, I believe all our children deserve exceptional educational opportunities, genuine support, and a school environment where they are excited to learn. Whether that means putting real books back in their hands, protecting valuable classroom time from digital distractions, or making sure every child can join an after-school club without participation fees getting in the way, my focus is always on what directly benefits our students. As a parent of four Davis District students and a local business owner, I’ve spent over a decade working inside our schools—serving on Community Councils, Legislative Committees and PTAs, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with families to solve real problems. Over the years, parents, educators, and neighbors have reached out and asked me to bring that same practical, kid-first focus to the Davis School Board. I’m ready to step up and serve.

In addition to implementing a Parent and Student Advocate,  I want to work with state legislators to implement more after school activities and use the Meta settlement dollars to invest in student connection, mental health, and after-school programs across all of our schools.  Social media platforms have isolated our kids, and we see the impact on youth mental health every day. With many parents working full-time, students need accessible activities where they can learn, connect, and build community off their screens. Expanding access to reading clubs, drama, STEM, service groups, and sports gives kids a sense of purpose, belonging, and safety. Funding the Priority: To fund this without burdening local taxpayers, I will push state leaders to distribute Utah’s share of the national Meta settlement directly to school districts on a per-student basis. With roughly 71,000 students, Davis School District makes up about 10.8% of Utah’s total public school enrollment. Out of Utah’s 212 million 10- year settlement, Davis’s share would be ~2.3 million per year or per student, $32.30 per year.  Because these funds were won specifically over the harms social media inflicted on youth, they should go directly toward rebuilding youth community offline. An annual dedicated stream of $2.3 million in Davis District would fund: ● Extracurricular Staffing & Stipends: Paying advisors, intramural coaches, and program coordinators across every junior high and high school. ● School Mini-Grants: Delivering $5,000 to $10,000 direct grants to individual schools for STEM, drama, athletics, and service clubs to eliminate participation fees for families. ● Connection & Wellness Specialists: Supporting staff focused directly on student mental health, peer support, and digital wellness.

Yes! In fact, I’ve been repeatedly asked to run for over a decade. It first started when a distrcit elementary director, Gwen M. Hill, suggested it while I was fighting the district over safe walking routes for our kids. Since then, parents, teachers, and principals have consistently urged me to step up. I almost declared four years ago, but I knew I wanted to be fully prepared first. Over the last four years, I’ve done my homework—studying education policy at the district, state, and national levels, while building a strong network of teachers and school leaders I consult with regularly. When our local high school principal reached out recently, concerned that no one was stepping forward to run for this seat, I knew the time was right, I was ready, and I needed to step up for our kids.

I would establish a dedicated Parent and Student Advocate position within the district. Over the last nine months I have reached out to many parents across our district. A clear pattern has emerged: when a parent brings forward a serious issue, the district often acts out of fear of legal liability rather than focusing on solving the problem. I have met with reasonable parents who faced unresolved issues involving Special Education, sports, bullying, and staff conduct. Some of these parents were left with no choice but to file formal complaints or lawsuits simply because the district refused to listen or act. That approach has to change. Specific steps I will take: 1. Establish a Parent Advocate Office: I will work to create a dedicated, accessible Parent Advocate position within the district. This gives parents a neutral, constructive starting point to resolve issues, gain honest answers, and find solutions before situations escalate into legal battles.  2. Implement Regular Reviews for Extracurricular and At-Will Staff: I will advocate for a formal review process for coaches, club directors, and staff who work closely with students. At the end of each season or program, parents and students will receive an anonymous survey to share their experiences. Much like standard teacher evaluations, cumulative results will be reviewed directly with the coach or director.

This is a non-partisan race, and purple is simply a mix of red and blue. I believe we can make the best decisions for kids when we are not focused on party platforms and politics. To maintain true independence, I do not accept endorsements or campaign donations from partisan political groups.

If you're wondering who's behind me, it really is just me and the people I have worked closely with through years of local school volunteering. They are all friends, current and former teachers, former PTA board members, local principals, community council members, and neighbors who want what's best for our kids. This campaign is 100% locally funded by parents, teachers, and neighbors.

I do my homework. Before declaring, I reached out to a few sitting board members to ask questions about workload, perspectives, and district issues. It would have been remiss of me not to seek the perspective of people who have sat in those seats. I did the exact same thing with parents, teachers, school administrators, and in visiting community councils in my precinct. Seeking all perspectives isn't falling in line—it’s responsible leadership.

Local school board races are non-partisan, meaning you do not run on a political platform. This keeps our focus entirely on making decisions that are best for kids instead of answering to large political organizations. To maintain true independence, I do not accept endorsements or campaign donations from partisan political groups.

I run my own campaign, drawing on my background in marketing, strategy and business operations. Every dollar raised comes straight from family, neighbors, and friends. My campaign is not funded or run by any current board members or district administrators.
