Hopkins has so much to be proud of—but we need to refocus.

​

We’re a district known for our inclusive values, our diverse community, and our willingness to reimagine education.  I believe the diversity in this district is one of our greatest assets. It enriches every classroom and broadens every student’s perspective. These are real strengths.

 

But in recent years, we’ve seen troubling signs that our academic focus and measurable outcomes have taken a back seat.

​

While neighboring districts are advancing student achievement with clear measurable goals, strong curriculum, and consistent rigor, Hopkins has leaned heavily on vision and theory, without always delivering the results families and students deserve.

​

I believe it’s time for a reset: one that grounds our innovation in evidence, puts academic excellence back at the center, and rebuilds trust through transparency and results.

 

Our kids need to leave Hopkins ready to thrive. Confident not just in who they've grown to be, but in what they know and what they can do. They need to walk away with the same level of skills and knowledge as students in our neighboring communities. Unfortunately, Hopkins students are not maintaining or making the same academic progress as our peer districts. 

​​

We don’t have to choose between inclusivity and academic rigor. The best districts, and the best leaders, know how to deliver both. That’s the standard we should all expect from Hopkins.

​

​I’m running to bring clarity, accountability, and care to school board decisions. My legal training sharpens my ability to parse complex data, hold systems accountable, and foster community trust. I’m committed to championing academic rigor, equity, teacher well-being, and a secure environment that prepares every student for success.
