It is with great pleasure that I seek re-election to the Board of Education in the Pocantico Hills School District. As a long-time resident and alumni of the Pocantico Hills School community, I take great pride in our school and our community. Being a parent of two sons who are current students, makes this role incredibly important to me. I am currently finishing my first term as a board trustee and I am very proud of the work that we accomplished over the last 3 years. Some of the highlights for me include, our energy proficiency contract that enabled us to install solar panels, our long term strategic planning in both capital improvement and curriculum and instruction, and our deep look into using data to drive growth. I bring to the board experience in public education as a long-time special education teacher and now an elementary school Assistant Principal.
