Student Achievement 
As a Cincinnati Public Schools board member, my foremost priority has been, is, and will continue to be the achievement of every student in our district. The goal for every school district is to ensure that students know more when they leave than when they first arrive. I firmly believe that each student should have the opportunity to excel, and I am dedicated to cultivating an environment where diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just ideals but essential components of our educational framework. By recognizing and celebrating the unique backgrounds and experiences of all individuals, we can create a vibrant community that nurtures and supports every learner's journey. I understand that providing robust support to our teachers and staff is crucial. When educators feel empowered and well-equipped, they are better positioned to deliver the high-quality education that our students rightfully deserve in order to thrive and succeed. 

Good Governance
The school board serves an indispensable role in governing the district, a responsibility that is fundamental to the overall and growth of the educational community. It is essential to grasp the nuances between governance and administration. The Board is tasked with the critical responsibility of setting policies and determining the strategic direction. While the administration is entrusted with managing the day-to-day operations and executing the policies. By granting the administrators the authority to implement educational programs effectively, the school board can concentrate on its vital oversight role, ensuring that the administration remains accountable for meeting the district's established objectives and goals. This robust partnership between the school board and the administration is not only beneficial but essential, as it cultivates an environment where students are empowered to excel, and the district can confidently advance its unwavering commitment to educational excellence.

Investing in Tomorrow
Our schools build the foundations for our future. It is imperative that we put the time, effort, and resources into our schools so that we see can continue to see the reward in how are students perform. When we do not invest in our students and teachers, the results are clear. There is more that needs to be done to bring the community to the table to ensure our students can rise to their highest and maximize that return on our investment. Building upon Community Learning Centers models and working to with our career tech programming will open new opportunities. Bringing equity and efficiency to how resources are distributed will expand the effectiveness of the hard work so many of our teachers and staff do on a daily basis. Our students need to be prepared for the education and jobs of their futures. If we are truly investing in tomorrow, we address the concerns of today while keeping an eye towards the challenges of tomorrow. 

Diversity Equity& Inclusion
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental components that contribute to the development of a welcoming and successful school district. These essential principles create an extraordinary environment that ensures every student, regardless of their unique background or life experiences, feels valued, respected, and understood. This nurturing atmosphere fosters a genuine sense of belonging among all students, teachers, staff, and families, which is vital for a young person's emotional and academic well-being. When we actively embrace and celebrate diverse perspectives within our school district, we not only enrich the learning experience for every individual but also equip our students with the necessary skills to thrive in an increasingly dynamic and interconnected global society.  By prioritizing these values, we create a brighter future for everyone involved, making our school district a better place for learning and growth. 

Technology in the Classroom
In an era of change and divestment in publics schools, the District must continue to take decisive action to prioritize investment in our facilities that will provide the necessary support for their educational needs. This means it is crucial to integrate technology into the classroom, as this will equip our 22nd-century students with the tools they need to learn in ways that are more tailored to their individual learning styles. By making this strategic investment, schools will create an environment that not only acknowledges students' needs,  but also encourages a variety of learning approaches that will promote innovation and enable our students to flourish. This, in turn, will lead to significant academic success for all students. By embracing and implementing these transformative changes, the District will empower every student to reach their full potential and excel in their educational journeys.  

Community Investment 
Investing in our local community is not just important; it is essential for elevating the quality of education in our schools. When schools establish robust partnerships with local businesses, organizations, and residents, it creates a wealth of valuable opportunities that can significantly benefit students. These collaborations not only enhance educational resources but also enrich the learning environment, making it more engaging and supportive for our young people. Moreover, fostering these strong ties nurtures a sense of belonging within the community, encouraging residents to take an active role in the growth and development of our children. By coming together and pooling our resources, knowledge, and efforts, we can effectively tackle the various challenges that we encounter in today’s world. Ultimately, this united approach ensures that both our schools and the surrounding community can thrive together, paving the way for a brighter future for everyone involved.
