Everett for JCPS

Screen addiction and digital distractions have no place in our classrooms. I fought hard to implement the comprehensive JCPS cell phone ban to protect student mental health, reduce classroom disruptions, and support our educators. By getting phones out of classrooms, we have given teachers the freedom to teach and students the environment to focus on learning. 

Taxpayer dollars belong in the classroom, not in the pockets of expensive outside firms. I treat your tax dollars with strict fiduciary responsibility. By slashing bloated outside consulting contracts and pivoting the board toward a rigid Return on Investment (ROI) model for all expenditures, we cut administrative waste and redirected vital resources directly toward solving front-line classroom staffing shortages. 

Effective governance doesn’t happen from a central office building—it happens on the ground. I have built a reputation as the board's most responsive member because I do the work. I make it a strict rule to personally meet with our neighborhood school principals before casting a vote at board meetings, ensuring our administrators always have a direct pipeline to leadership.
