Bio: I have dedicated myself to life-long learning, particularly as I fulfill professional responsibilities and engage in civic work.  These values guided my efforts during the last four years as I served on the Albemarle County School Board.  I tried to represent the views of parents, students, and teachers and meet their high standards and expectations of educational excellence.  I plan to continue this work with transparency, honesty, and energy.  I also commit to improving public accessibility to School Board proceedings, and to staying involved at the school level on issues that warrant the attention of elected officials.
