I’m running for re-election to the school board because I’ve dedicated my adult life to service. I care about children, their well-rounded education, and their futures. As a volunteer in the BCSD schools since 2004, the community, the Ohio PTA, and a public school educator for 28 years, I’ve learned the importance of advocating for children and giving selflessly. As a first-generation American and a daughter of immigrants, my parents always stressed the importance of sacrifice, hard work, and commitment. As a first-generation college graduate, I understand the needs of our students and families. As a mom of 2 recent graduates and a current sophomore, I know the history of the district and the areas for improvement. As a current school board member, I have been recognized as a Master Board Member and a recipient of the Award of Achievement by the Ohio Schools Boards Association. I understand the role of the school board, the hard work involved, and am ready to continue working collaboratively and respectfully for the children of the district.
