I was appointed to the Elizabeth School Board in February 2025. I’m a retired Naval Officer with 20 years of service, where I led teams, managed complex operations, and helped develop some of the Navy’s most advanced systems. With a degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master’s in National Strategy from the U.S. Naval War College, I bring a strategic mindset and disciplined leadership to every challenge.
I was also a classroom teacher in a rural school district, teaching every grade level and gaining a firsthand understanding of the daily realities our educators face. As a parent, I taught my own children up through Calculus. I believe in academic excellence and the power of a strong education.
I’m running to continue serving as your Elizabeth School District Board Director. I’m committed to raising standards, supporting teachers, and ensuring our students are prepared for whatever path they choose. With leadership experience, technical knowledge, and a heart for education, I’m ready to keep working for our schools and our community.
I will continue to focus on academic excellence, opportunity, parental rights, school choice, sound financial oversight and school safety.
