As a dedicated advocate for education and community well-being, my vision for District 4 of Wake County Public Schools is to create an inclusive and empowering educational environment where every student can thrive. I am committed to fostering a culture of excellence, equity, and engagement that elevates our communities and prepares our children for a bright and successful future.

Together, we will:

  1. Empower Students: Ensure that all students have access to high-quality education, innovative programs, and the necessary resources to achieve their fullest potential, regardless of their background or circumstances.
  2. Support Educators: Advocate for professional development, competitive compensation, and a supportive work environment for our teachers and staff, recognizing them as the backbone of our educational system.
  3. Engage Parents and Guardians: Foster strong partnerships with families, encouraging active participation in their children's education and creating a collaborative community that supports student success.
  4. Elevate Communities: Promote initiatives that bridge the gap between schools and communities, ensuring that our schools are not just places of learning, but hubs of support, growth, and opportunity for all.
  5. Champion Equity: Strive for policies and practices that address disparities, ensuring that every child has a fair and equal opportunity to succeed, with a focus on mental health, special education, and inclusive practices.

With a steadfast commitment to these principles, I believe District 4 and Wake County School System is a model of educational excellence and community empowerment. Together, we will build a brighter future for our children and our community.
