Why I’m right for Anoka- Hennepin Schools.
My Commitment to Anoka-Hennepin
I am Anoka-Hennepin born and raised. My husband and I are raising our children here, with them attending the same schools we went to. I’ve watched this district evolve over decades, and I’m deeply invested in what happens next.
​
Ethical & Financially Responsible
As an auditor and risk manager, I bring business leadership experience to the board. I am trained in governance and financial discipline, ensuring we have stable funding, are responsible with taxpayer money, and achieve a strong return on our investment in education. I cross every "t" and dot every "i" to ensure decisions are transparent and effective.
​
Committed to Elevating All Voices
I believe every voice matters, especially those that have been historically marginalized. My focus is on synthesizing parent priorities, teacher needs, and student success metrics to strengthen the entire district.
​
Experienced and Trusted
I've served on the School Board, and before that, the CBPA Elementary PTO board, where I earned a reputation for listening and learning. I have built open, compassionate, and trustworthy relationships with teachers, administrators, staff, and families, ensuring any action taken represents the people who will be impacted. I am ready to continue serving.
This is home.
My relationship with Anoka-Hennepin schools started on my first day of Kindergarten in Ms. Bahr's class at Oxbow Creek Elementary—I still remember the piano in her room and the belief my family instilled in me about the power of learning and community.
​
From there, I went on to attend Fred Moore Middle School and Champlin Park High School. I thrived on the access to sports, extracurricular activities like the school newspaper, music, and DECA. This district provided the foundation that prepared me for college at the University of St. Thomas and a successful career in financial services.
​
My husband's story is the same: he grew up here, too, fueling his passion for STEM with the advanced technology available in the computer labs and science classrooms.
​
The education and opportunities we received here are what motivate us to raise our own family in the Anoka-Hennepin community today. This is our past, our present, and our future.
Here’s why I’m invested in Anoka-Hennepin Schools.
My commitment to the Anoka-Hennepin school district is personal, professional, and deeply rooted. My husband and I are raising our family here, and we’re determined to make this district even better—for our children, for every student and family who will follow, and for the dedicated teachers who commit their energy every day.
​
We are a current district family: our kids have attended CBPA Elementary, now attend Jackson Middle School and Champlin Park High School, and have benefitted from services across the education arena, from Title 1 reading support to talent development. From coaching their CDAA teams to cheering them on in theater and sports, I’ve seen firsthand the scope of opportunities this district offers.
​
Walking the same halls my husband and I once did is motivating. It reminds me that what happens here must evolve and progress—it cannot rely on outdated resources or perspectives.
​
My professional career and service on the School Board have given me the foundation to continue this work. As an auditor and risk manager, I understand the critical value of curiosity, research, and using all available information to find the best solutions. I’ve honed the strong leadership skills and decision-making experience required to guide teams and projects to success. I am a lifelong learner committed to understanding family priorities, teacher needs, and student success metrics for our entire district.
​
I am always looking for ways to give back, whether by volunteering to chaperone the middle school Halloween Dance or serving on key committees in my role on the School Board. This district has given so much to me; I am ready to continue giving my energy and expertise to move Anoka-Hennepin forward.
