Hello Indian Prairie School District 204,

Eight years ago, I shared my commitment to Education  Excellence   Everyday for every 204 student. As I seek re-election in 2025, my promise is to continue to serve and advocate for all students, staff, and district constituents through an equitable, compassionate, and inclusive lens.

The 2020 pandemic brought enormous challenges for our children, families, and educators. We successfully navigated that difficult time and our students are thriving academically, socially, and emotionally. Championing our students and educators is vital as we move forward. Board support must be unwavering, all-encompassing and pupil-centered.

I am proud of our district accomplishments and my individual contributions over the last eight years including:

1. Increased enrollment for underrepresented students in AP classes
2. Co-chair for our board’s District Equity Statement process
3. Largest 1:1 technology roll out in the state (2nd-12th grades)
4. Increased pre-school opportunities for all students

Additionally, I authored the Equity Belief Statement submitted by our board and adopted by the Illinois Association of School Boards. It is the state’s current Belief Statement for Equity guiding school boards throughout Illinois.

As we move forward, we must be attuned to helping our students maintain both their social and emotional health, while creating robust academic and career pathways. These objectives are all critical for our students.

This is such an exciting time in IPSD 204. The overwhelming support with the passage of the 2024 fall referendum has demonstrated the priority our stakeholders place on ensuring all our buildings are as safe and secure as possible. We are also pleased to provide necessary building updates for some of our oldest schools (WVHS and Gregory for example). I am committed to frequent check-ins with our business/finance team to ensure we stay on a timely track and meet budget forecast.

 I will remain forward thinking as we plan for the future and Education   Excellence   Everyday for all students and staff. This sentiment embodies what I hoped for my girls as they traversed their Indian Prairie School District secondary education and is the same precept I wish for all of our children in District 204.

Thank you for allowing me to serve and THANK YOU for your VOTE on April 1, 2025!

On April 1, 2025 Re-Elect
