My Focal Points
Why Me?

Menomonee Falls has been my home for nearly four decades. I raised my family here, worked with our schools, and volunteered alongside countless community members who care deeply about the future of our children. I’m running for the Menomonee Falls School Board because I believe strong schools are built through experience, fiscal responsibility, and community involvement — values I’ve lived by my entire career.

I’ve spent much of my professional and volunteer life working directly with education, youth programs, and public budgets. From serving as Recreation and Community Education Director for the Menomonee Falls School District to organizing education-based community initiatives, I’ve seen firsthand how thoughtful leadership and collaboration create opportunities for students to succeed

A Focus on Students, Families, and Fiscal Responsibility

My approach to leadership has always been practical and accountable. I’ve managed large budgets, overseen public programs, and served on boards responsible for long-term financial planning — including the Wisconsin Retirement Board, which oversees pension funds for hundreds of thousands of public employees.  Those experiences reinforce the importance of careful stewardship of taxpayer dollars while still investing in what matters most: students and educators.

Commitment Beyond the Classroom

Education doesn’t stop at the school doors. I’ve helped lead community programs that connect students to history, veterans, athletics, and service opportunities — from Education Week at Old Falls Village to Veterans Day observances and scholarship-raising alumni events.

I’m running because Menomonee Falls deserves school board leadership that understands education, respects taxpayers, and values collaboration. I’m committed to listening, asking the right questions, and working alongside parents, staff, and residents to keep our schools strong today and for generations to come.
