Why Are You Running?

​​​​My work and life experience have revolved around the betterment of students and families in my community, and elevating their voices and setting priorities with them. This feels like a natural next step. I believe that those most affected by the issues are the experts, and I fully intend on using the relationships I have cultivated to prioritize the concerns of my community.
