My Top Issues
After school programs
I support after-school programming because it provides students with safe, structured environments where they can explore interests, build confidence, and receive academic or social support beyond the classroom. These programs are essential for working families and help strengthen connections between schools and the community.
Enhancing transparency and accountability

School-Based Mental Health Programs
Mental health services are essential to student success, helping young people manage stress, build resilience, and stay engaged in learning. When we prioritize mental well-being, we create safer, more supportive schools for everyone.
