I am a Higley Unified School District parent, a community advocate, and technology leader. I will work to keep Higley Schools the best choice for families while supporting academic programs including elementary specials and our Dual Language Immersion programs. Strong public schools equal strong communities and lasting opportunities for all students.

I am a native of California and attended public schools growing up. After attending community college, I transferred to Arizona State University where I earned a degree in Computer Information Systems from ASU’s W. P. Carey School of Business. After college, I spent five years working in Arizona followed by five years in Las Vegas. I returned to Gilbert nine years ago and have been a proud Higley district resident ever since. My daughter is now in her third year of Higley schooling.

I am an Information Security Executive with substantial experience managing risk, budgets, ensuring compliance, contracting, and driving decisions with data. I bring a style of leadership to the Governing Board that is transparent, accountable, collaborative with teachers and administrators, and focused on protecting and creating academic opportunity for all while keeping student outcomes at the forefront of every decision.
