She has devoted her adulthood to making our community a better place and she is proud of her reputation as someone who works for change and the wellbeing of everyone in our community.

As a mom of students in the Flagstaff Unified School District, she is a vested interest in ensuring that FUSD schools offer an exemplary educational experience that allows all learners to reach their full potential. Public education is the base upon which we build our democracy, and it is more important than ever that FUSD governing board members believe in the right of every child to a fully funded, well supported, inclusive and accessible education.
