The core role of a school trustee is to oversee a system that motivate students and reflects the aspiration of parents as well as thevwider society and provides the direction to see us through.

The community needs a common sense trustee with a background as a mental health clinician to give the board a key perspective on human resource issues and youth behavior. I am able to deal with matters with a sensitive nature in a discrete way in the face of harsh predatory political response.

As a dedicated and experienced Mental Health Clinician, data scientist and former school trustee, I am eager to take on the challenge of serving as a school trustee in Richmond. With my extensive experience in mental health and governance, I possess a unique understanding of the complex issues facing our school district. I am committed to addressing the pressing concerns of budget shortfalls, declining student enrollment, and student well-being. My goal is to foster a collaborative environment that promotes academic excellence, social-emotional learning, and community engagement. Through my leadership, I aim to ensure that every student receives a high-quality education that prepares them for success in an ever-changing world.

As a trustee, I will prioritize listening to the community, holding the executive team accountable, and making fiscally responsible decisions that benefit our students and taxpayers. I am passionate about creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment that allows every student to thrive.
