Holding a Master’s degree in administration and having a finance background before my 25-year teaching career, I offer a distinctive viewpoint for this role. My experience as an equity leader for over fifteen years has equipped me with the skills to listen attentively and weigh various perspectives when making decisions.
My roots in West Chester run deep—from attending the West Chester Area School District and West Chester University to teaching and coaching within our schools. As a mother of two, I have cherished raising my family in the borough, where we have enjoyed the lively parks and historic neighborhoods. This is why I hold green spaces and the preservation of history close to my heart. As an art history teacher, I recognize how public art can enrich our community.
My experiences living in various neighborhoods throughout the borough have given me a deep understanding of our community and its local businesses. West Chester is filled with a rich history and unique charm that we must strive to protect. Over the years, I have witnessed West Chester evolve into a vibrant destination, and I am committed to supporting that growth while being mindful of our infrastructure.
