 Why are you seeking election to
the Washington DC School Board?
I am running for the Board of Education because I believe that every
child in the District should graduate from our public schools ready for
life: whether they go directly to the workplace or continue on to
college. I'm committed to making that vision a reality, and I'm
impatient with the current pace of change.
I am ready to work with the
community members of wards 5 and 6 and with all of the leaders of this
city to bring excellence to DC public schools.
What are your qualifications
for the position you seek?
I am the only candidate with the qualifications who, in
conjunction with other Board members, will get this school system back
on track. Although the Board position is part-time, I plan to work
full-time to represent wards 5 & 6.
I have been a school administrator
for eight years and served most recently as Chief Operating Officer for
Cesar Chavez Public Charter Schools (1,100 students and a 100% college
acceptance rate). I hold a Master of Public Administration from Columbia
University and bring experience as a teacher, school leader, and parent.
I have extensive budgeting, management and facilities oversight
experience.
