Personal Statement: THANK YOU! It has been a privilege to serve on the board for the past nine years. Victor is a "destination district." It is incumbent upon the Board of Education to place the formation and well-being of students, the support and development of teachers, staff, and administration, the safety of all students and adults, the communication and collaboration with families, and the transparency with all of whom we serve at the forefront of what we do. We must continue to recognize and address the issues that are specific to our Victor community so we may continue to improve our practices, policies, and ways of proceeding. We must provide an innovative and inclusive learning environment that fosters and promotes academic excellence, social-emotional skills, critical thinking, and mental and physical health and wellness, while remaining fiscally responsible to the community. I would be honored to continue to serve our community.
