Public education has the power to change lives, improve communities, and prepare future generations. However, students from our state and local school districts face global competition. I retired from the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System in January 2022 and made it my personal goal to be a part of the solution in building a better educational system for all children. In 2022, I ran for the school board district 4, and in 2023, I ran for an At-large School board seat. My passion for improving the educational system is unwavering, and I will continue to seek opportunities to serve the children and families of North Carolina in the future.
