1. Tell us about yourself.
I have been a Fillmore County licensed daycare provider since 2008. I have a three-star Parent Aware rating. My husband Tony and I have two sons. Dominic as well as myself are Chatfield Alumni and Dylan is a sophomore. My husband and I have lived in the same house here in Chatfield for over 20 years and I’m proud that my family has been in Chatfield for many generations. We have a cat, two dogs, and two horses. We are involved in 4-H, HPDC project, the county fair, and volunteer whenever we can to help children in our community.
2. Why are you running for Chatfield School Board?
I want to bring a fresh perspective to the team. I am a business owner, a mom, and always advocate for what is in the best interest for the children.
3. What do you feel are the most important issues facing Chatfield Public Schools?
I feel the need to increase the number of new families enrolling in our schools would benefit funding, staff, further educating students with STEM programs and financial literacy to prepare them for the future.
4. What do you hope to accomplish if you are elected?
I know from being on DHS and Parent Aware committees that with dedication and hard work, changes can be accomplished. I want to be an advocate to be able to market our school district to show prospective families the great opportunities that are available here. I also want to bring awareness to the need of our children learning real world financial skills to prepare them for their future.
