I was appointed and have served on the Wauwatosa School Board since August 2024. In December of 2024 I was asked to fill the vacancy in the Finance – Resources Committee.

I am running to retain the 1 year term left for Seat #7. Continuing my work advocating for equity, accessibility, and student success is very important to me. Making sure the District is fiscally responsible and has appropriate oversight and accountability with the recently passed referenda is also a top goal.

As a parent, my journey in Wauwatosa schools has been deeply personal. After enrolling my neurodivergent daughter in the district, my wife and I witnessed firsthand both the strengths and challenges of the system. When the district could no longer meet our daughter’s needs, we made the difficult decision to enroll her in a social emotional based learning school outside of the district to ensure her well-being.

This experience fuels my passion for creating a school system where every child feels supported, included and welcome. I believe bullying, anxiety and trauma have no place in our children’s educational experience.

Professionally, I have over 25 years of experience in leadership, software architecture, and organizational management. I have guided companies through growth and change, always focusing on data-driven solutions and listening to what people need.
