“Woodbridge has always been well known for its excellent education system. As a member of the Woodbridge Board of Education since 2015 and chair of the Board since 2020, I have helped to move the district forward during challenging times that included the pandemic and multiple administrative changes. Woodbridge needs strong leadership, and I have a proven track record of leadership in our schools. My life experiences as an elementary educator, historical knowledge of the district, and skill base allow me to bring a unique perspective to the Woodbridge Board of Education. It is always my priority to assure that the school remains in the forefront of educational excellence. We must never forget that the future lies with today’s children.”
