PINELLAS COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD • DISTRICT 6
Why I'm Running.
A Fresh Voice with Common Sense Solutions
I'm seeking election to the Pinellas County School Board in District 6 because I believe our children deserve leadership that is focused on them. Like many of you, I've watched the challenges facing our district grow more complex — and I believe our focus must be clear, our goals must be measurable, and our students must always come first.
"I'm not a career politician and I'm not running for the next political office. I'm running because I care deeply about the future of our students and the strength of our community."

MY PLATFORM
Four Priorities. One Clear Focus.
District 6 families deserve a school board member who brings focused, results-driven leadership to every decision. These four pillars guide everything I stand for — and everything I will fight for once elected.
📚 Academic Excellence
Every student in District 6 deserves to read on grade level and develop strong foundational math skills. These aren't aspirational goals — they are baseline expectations, and our board must hold leadership accountable for meeting them.
Set clear, measurable academic goals for every school
Track and report progress transparently to the public
Hold district leadership accountable for outcomes
Ensure no student falls through the cracks
🍎 Support for Teachers
Our teachers are the backbone of our schools. They deserve to be treated that way — with competitive compensation, safe working environments, and the trust to do their jobs without being buried in bureaucratic red tape.
Fight for competitive teacher compensation
Advocate for safe, well-resourced classrooms
Reduce unnecessary administrative burdens
Retain talented educators in our district
🤝 Parents as Partners
Parents are not obstacles — they are essential partners. As an active PTA member for seven years, I've seen firsthand how families working alongside schools creates better outcomes for every child. That partnership starts with trust, and trust starts with transparency.
Promote full curriculum transparency
Ensure clear, consistent communication from the district
Champion open dialogue between schools and families
Be a genuine voice and advocate for parents on the board
💰 Fiscal Responsibility
The School Board manages hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. The families of District 6 have a right to expect that every dollar is spent wisely — prioritized for classroom instruction, student resources, and school safety, not administrative overhead.
Demand responsible, transparent budgeting
Prioritize dollars for classrooms and students
Scrutinize every line item with fresh eyes
Ensure taxpayer money is never wasted
THE ELECTION
This Election Offers a Choice.
A choice between moving forward with a fresh, focused approach — or taking a step back. The students of District 6 deserve leadership that asks hard questions, demands measurable results, and puts them first in every single decision.
