As a parent and former teacher who has worked for two decades to improve public schools, I believe all students deserve a top-notch education.

That’s why I’m running for School Committee at this critical moment for Melrose Public Schools. I believe my hands-on experience, hard-earned expertise, and track record of consensus-driven, meaningful change can help move our schools forward.

On November 4th, I hope I can count on your vote. But that’s only the beginning. I look forward to hearing from you. Tell me what’s working well and one area where we can improve.

Together, we can work towards a stronger Melrose Public Schools.
