A Voice for All

Representing approximately 12,000 student families, and a community of 70,000, means that there is a beautiful- and significant- diversity of  thought and opinion about everything!  In decision making, I seek to first understand diverse view points, then integrate best practice and operational excellence, and finally make an informed decision in the best interest of our students! ​

Hope and Optimism for the Future

The pandemic has challenged public education like no other time but we will emerge stronger and better than ever!

​Commitment to Diversity of Thought

Alternate view points are necessary for a healthy and productive society.  Moreover, I believe that education must be non-partisan: we need ALL SIDES of the aisle to work TOGETHER for our students!

​Fierce Advocacy

Wayzata students, families and staff are my top priority and I will continue to be a strong advocate for our District at the local, state and national level!

​Unwavering Work Ethic

I step up, show up, and give 100%!  My colleagues know they can count on me!

​A Commitment to Relationships

I build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders- including city officials, legislators, business partners, and other community leaders so we can WORK TOGETHER for our students!

​Experience and Understanding

Board work requires a complex knowledge base!! Now more than ever, we need leaders who understand our educational systems, Board governance, and how to sustain fiscal responsibility and academic excellence.

​Unity

We may not always agree, but I commit to listening, seeking understanding, and joining with you to ALWAYS do ​what is BEST FOR STUDENTS!
