As a GPPSS parent, I’m proud of our school district and want to serve on the school board to improve it. My background in public health and education makes me a great candidate. I’m passionate about creating a safe learning environment for ALL kids!
Partisan politics has no place on the school board, so I’m not seeking endorsement by any political party. That means I need as many individual donations as I can get. I’ll use this money to purchase lawn signs and print literature to send out to voters.
Our teachers at GPPSS are a phenomenal part of what makes the district such a great place for students, and I'm proud to be endorsed by the GPEA (our local educators' union). Parent volunteers create awesome learning opportunities through field trips and extracurricular activities. We need a Board of Education that listens to the community and responds to their concerns, while keeping the focus on what’s best for our students. I hope you’ll consider contributing to my campaign!

Halfway there!
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far, to get me halfway to my campaign goal! I’ve been able to purchase a sticker ad for the Grosse Pointe Times, which you’ll see September 22nd and will be delivered to all homes in the school district. We’ve also distributed over 200 yard signs, and I just had to put in another order - I’m blown away by the support! Soon we will be canvassing as many houses as possible, and I’m almost out of the 1000 pieces of campaign literature already printed, so I’m placing an order for 5000 more (with some updates to the design based on voter feedback). I couldn’t do any of this without your donations, and I’m truly grateful that you’ve put your trust in me to run for our school board. I’m going to keep working as hard as I can to make sure all students feel safe and welcome at school, and keep our district moving forward!
