Short background / intro paragraph. Replace with real bio.Why I’m Running
I am running for the Portsmouth School Board because every student deserves a high-quality education that prepares them for a successful future. That begins with strong classrooms, supported teachers, and policies that reflect the needs of our community.
I bring experience as an educator, a mom with children in Portsmouth schools, and an advocate who has fought to ensure students, including my own, receive the support they need. These experiences have shown me the importance of transparency, accountability, and listening to families.
As a board member, my focus will be on solutions. I will strengthen literacy instruction and early support so more students succeed in Portsmouth classrooms, reducing costly out-of-district placements and keeping families connected to our schools. I will support teachers with meaningful training and resources so they can meet the needs of all learners. I will push for a long-term facilities plan that addresses growth and overcrowding, starting with long overdue improvements at New Franklin. And I will expand opportunities at the middle and high school levels, from AP and dual enrollment to career and technical pathways, so every student is prepared for their future.
Portsmouth is growing, and so are the needs of our schools. I will listen, collaborate, and always keep students at the center of every decision.
Educator. Mom. Advocate. I am ready to put Portsmouth’s students first.
