Three years ago the Rye community honored me by electing me to the School Board. I currently serve as the Board’s Vice President. I have served on nine RCSD committees, including currently serving as chair of the policy committee and Board liaison to the Curriculum Committee. I have also served on the

Finance, Budget Analysis, Health and Safety, Communication, English Language Arts, Math and Technology committees. I have lived in Rye for over 12 years with my husband and three children. I served three years as the Midland PTO President after being Vice-President. I also served as the President of SEPTA, Rye’s special education parent/teacher association. I am a member of the Woman’s Club of Rye. I am proud of my association with the Caring Committees now established at our schools. A founder of the first caring committee at Midland school, I currently serve as co-chair of the High School/Middle School caring committee. The caring committees help families who are in the midst of significant hardship. After graduating from Northwestern University I worked as a high school history teacher. I ask the voters for their continued support on May 19th.
