I’m excited to announce I am running for re-election to North Shore’s Board of Education. As current Board President and with six years as trustee, my experience along with my skills as a business owner are an asset for our schools as we work to preserve our outstanding  educational program in the face of significant fiscal challenges.

I’ve worked hard to preserve the long-term financial well-being of our schools. I’ve supported a rich, well-rounded curriculum for all our students where meaningful learning is not crowded out.  I’ve focused on the well-being of our students through wellness and safety committees and the health of our infrastructure on the construction committee.

I’m proud of our district and its role in our community.  We moved to Sea Cliff 19 years ago, and our schools were a major part of that decision. With a 10^th grader at North Shore and a 6^th grader at our middle school, we are grateful for the many opportunities they’ve had.

I am also extensively involved in our community - initially through volunteering with the SC PCA and Friends of the Library and now through the SC MAKEshop and Coalition to Save Hempstead Harbor – but it’s my volunteer work on our school board where my background truly comes into play.

As a tax payer and as a parent, I see the 19 years I have spent running and building a successful business   as critical experience.  My demonstrated abilities in long-term planning, data analysis, budgeting and creative problem-solving are crucial at this juncture for moving our schools forward for our students now and for future generations of our community.

I ask for your vote to re-elect me on May 21^st.
