About Me
My background
I am a proud alumni of both Franklin Township and Purdue University. I have a daughter that graduated from Franklin Central, who participated in cross country, tennis, soccer, and show choir, as well as multiple academic clubs. Both as an alumni and parent, I am always proud to call myself a Flash.
I have dedicated my career to social services, working in education and human services. I have a strong commitment to early education, having the honor to have served as the state’s First Steps director for over ten years. I have a strong background in disability services, working as the Chief of Staff within the Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services, which oversees Medicaid Waiver and Vocational Rehabilitative services. I am currently working to support the early education field and specifically pre-K and preschool populations.
Priorities
Advancing Student Outcomes while meeting Financial Responsibilities
My vision for Franklin Township School Corporation is to create an environment of learning where students and professionals want to attend. We know that in today’s world, we all have many choices. I want Franklin Township and FT schools to be a place where families and professionals choose to live, work, and learn.
Priorities:
· Community Involvement: Staff, Parents, Community should be involved as key decisions are made.
· Transparency: Increase transparency in Communication, Finance, Performance, Goals/Plans
· Safety: Create environments that are safe from threats as well as actively addressing behaviors that are not conducive to learning.
· Academic Growth: With involvement of staff, parents, and students, review of curriculum and how it is being delivered; making recommendations on how to close the gaps.
· Fiscal Responsibility: Maintain a balanced budget while increasing our achievement performance for all students. Share the political issues you're most passionate about.
