The sole purpose of seeking election to BOE is to strengthen and support the district mission to grow confident, compassionate and successful learners by providing engaging and challenging educational experiences. I am a resident of Montgomery for the past 10 years and I take pride in the excellent education my two children are receiving in our schools. Currently I chair the Policy committee and serve on the Assessment, Curriculum and Instruction committee. My graduate school experience in NJ, professional career, community service and communication with thousands of residents through radio, coupled with being a tax-paying resident and involved parent, has prepared me well to continue to serve our residents by making informed decisions to ensure that we have a superior and fiscally sound school district. I value the education and life skills that my children receive in our wonderful schools, and their positive experiences led me to run for a seat at the BOE three and a half years ago. The older one is now a senior at college and my younger child is a junior at the high school. I have two children, both of whom went to Montgomery Public schools.
