Voters across our precinct know this is the position that directly impacts our daily lives. On the school board, we take state legislation and put it into place, steward tax dollars, and fund educational opportunities that shape the future of our entire community. The opportunities available to our kids–and the excitement and rigor of their learning–impact all of us for generations, whether you have children in our schools or not. Today’s students face unique challenges from digital distractions and social isolation. Our job is to ensure our schools remain places of strong academics and genuine human connection, where students are supported, excited to learn, and guided by the best teachers.

2. What unique qualities, attributes, skills, and experiences do you possess that make you the best candidate in this race?

Above all, I show up for kids. Whether mentoring students toward top colleges or supporting our most vulnerable youth with resources to succeed, I am in our schools watching out for all students–even those outside my own neighborhood. I pair over a decade of classroom experience with executive business leadership. As an MBA, small business owner, and 2026 Utah Business “30 Women to Watch” honoree, I know how to manage budgets, streamline costs, and bring an entrepreneurial mindset to solve tough problems. As a mom of four Davis District kids, Farmington High Community Council President, and former State PTA Legislative Committee member, I offer a proven track record of standing up for students, parents, and teachers.

3. Please explain your priorities if elected, as well as why you believe you are uniquely capable of achieving those priorities.

While Davis District is leading in best practices like the science of reading and early assessments, my priority is taking the next step: bringing back the joy of reading. That means putting physical books back in kids’ hands, maintaining distraction-free classrooms, and making reading fun again. Second, we must address the real challenges of student isolation and mental health. I’ve already begun working with state policy leaders to bring Utah’s Meta settlement funds into our schools at zero cost to taxpayers–funding fee-free after-school clubs, sports, and programs that foster real offline connection and belonging. Finally, I will establish a neutral

Parent Advocate office to resolve family concerns early. Having spent ten years building strong relationships with state leaders, educators, and parents, I am uniquely prepared to turn these priorities into results.

4. Please describe how you view the importance of compromise in politics and provide an example from your own experiences that highlights your perspective.

Compromise isn’t about abandoning core principles; it’s about listening to all sides to find practical solutions that work. Ten years ago, I worked with local parents fighting the district over hazardous safe-walking routes for kids heading to Canyon Creek Elementary. Parents were anxious, and district leaders faced logistical hurdles. Instead of escalating conflict, I walked and drove those unsafe roads alongside a district director. Never tiring, until we forged a practical, safe solution together. That experience taught me that real progress comes from collaboration and persistent, grounded advocacy.

5. How will you balance the views of the vocal public, your political party, and your own understanding and knowledge as an elected representative?

Parents and teachers are the ones closest to our children, not politicians. That is why I listen to parents and educators first, focusing on what is best for our kids rather than political agendas. School board is a non-partisan role for a reason: there is no political alignment in teaching a child to read, supporting a struggling student, or keeping schools safe. I see my job as a practical builder. I balance competing voices by staying grounded in the real classroom. I will be in every school in Precinct 3 at least twice a year, meeting regularly with parents and staff, and seeking understanding from all sides. When tough choices arise, I rely on data, educator

expertise, and my business experience to put our kids first.
