I’m a lifelong Green Bay resident, a West High graduate (class of 1992), and a graduate from UW-Green Bay with a degree in Communications. I’m the mother of two daughters, both of whom attended GBAPS (Lincoln, Franklin and West). I work at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in IT as a Business Systems Analyst. My job is to work with different departments to define and correct problems — sometimes it’s a technical solution, sometimes the solution is changes to processes or procedures. I would bring both my personal experience as a student and parent and my work experience as a Business Systems Analyst to the Green Bay School Board.

My experience with the Green Bay Area Public Schools, both for myself and my daughters, was extremely positive. That doesn't mean I think our schools are perfect and can't improve; it just means that I'm coming into this campaign with a love of our schools and a desire to serve my community and to use my skills and talents to address the challenges facing our schools today.  

I don't have all the answers. I have opinions, just like everyone else, but I recognize those for what they are — my thoughts and ideas based on my limited understanding of the issues. Whoever wins the open school board seat will have a learning curve, and I think it's key to enter this campaign with an open mind, a willingness to listen, a genuine desire to support our schools, and a commitment to research and understand each issue as it comes up.  

I believe that everyone on the GBAPS School Board is there because they recognize the importance of our schools and the huge positive impact a high quality public education can have in a community. While I won't always agree with everyone on the school board, that fundamental belief — that everyone's goal is to do what's best for our schools — will allow me to find common ground and collaborate with other members of the school board so we come up with the best solutions for our schools.
