Being a mom of Kaleb, a Mankato West HS graduate of 2023, and Katelyn, a current MAPS student, gives me a unique and informed perspective on what is happening in our schools.

I understand firsthand the challenges our children face and the strengths and weaknesses of our educational system to support them as they learn and grow.

I bring practical insights and dedicated advocacy for creating school experiences that prepare students for the world they live in today and their future.

Together we can transform our educational system to meet the needs of our students today and in the future.

As an educator, Director of Teaching and Learning, and educational consultant, I bring expertise in curriculum development, student engagement, and innovative teaching strategies to the school board.

My experience collaborating with educators to enhance classroom environments and improve student outcomes positions me uniquely to drive positive changes.

My deep understanding of educational systems, combined with a passion for fostering inclusive and effective learning experiences, makes me an ideal advocate for students, staff, and the broader community.

As a lifelong community member, graduate of MNSU, and former MAPS employee, I bring a deep-rooted commitment to the Greater Mankato Community as well as a comprehensive understanding of our educational and employment landscape.

My experiences within our community provide valuable insights into the needs and strengths of our schools to prepare the next generation workforce.

This unique perspective allows me to advocate effectively for policies that benefit students, staff, and our community, ensuring a well-rounded educational environment.
