Strong communities build strong schools. I'm running to bring fresh, common-sense leadership to Green Hills School District— focused on student success, fiscal responsibility, and a school that prepares our children not just to pass tests, but to make a difference in their community.
See where I stand Get in touchI grew up in Green Township and graduated from Green Hills School in 2012. Over the past fourteen years I've watched our district and schools in general evolve — and I understand both the value of what we've built here and the challenges our students face in a world that has changed faster than any classroom can keep up with.
Today I work as a financial analyst at a multinational company, where I handle financial forecasting, compliance, and strategic analysis. I also serve on a finance technology team overseeing how new tools get adopted — experience that taught me to evaluate technology by its results, not its hype.
I'm not a parent in the district nor an educator myself, and I think that's a point worth being honest about. I'm the most recent graduate running for this board, with friends and family who teach and learn in our school. That recent, ground-level perspective — paired with a professional background in finance and technology — is exactly what I want to put to work for Green Hills.
I believe a school's purpose goes beyond report cards. It's about raising active citizens who know they can make a positive difference. I'm running to honor the mission that's always defined Green Hills while bridging the gap to the future our students deserve.
Each one ripens as you read — like the orchards that shaped this town.
Students learn best when their education is part of something larger. I'll push to connect classrooms with local stakeholders, community groups, and township government — so kids learn that getting involved is how you make a difference.
Technology doesn't automatically improve outcomes — and the evidence increasingly shows the opposite for unmanaged screen time. I'll ask what problem a tool actually solves before we adopt it, protecting the deep focus and foundational skills our students need. (See the research below.)
A great school is one where students and staff are respected, behavior is held accountable, and character development matters as much as academics. Clear standards, applied consistently and understood by families, are the foundation successful learning is built on.
With tight budgets, every dollar counts. I bring real expertise in financial forecasting, taxation law, and modern accounting practice. I want to strengthen how the district plans ahead and find smarter, leaner ways to fund the things our students need.
Our community is full of wisdom, skill, and goodwill waiting to be shared. Partnering with local stakeholders, organizations, and residents creates real value for our students — and strengthens the township at large in the process.
My positions on technology and student outcomes aren't hunches. They're supported by peer-reviewed research from credible institutions. Here are the sources — read them yourself.
A review of 179 studies (1990–2021) finds screen time associated with poorer attentional control in children. In a 2024 survey, 53% of 3rd–8th grade teachers said students' reading stamina had "decreased a lot" since 2019.

Read the source →Research tracking attention on digital devices found average focused attention fell from roughly 150 seconds (2004) to 47 seconds (2024), tied to short-form video, infinite scroll, and constant notifications.
Read the source →Average youth screen time in the U.S. rose by 49 minutes between 2021 and 2024, with documented effects on cognitive function and academic achievement among adolescents.
Read the source →A study of students found higher social media use associated with reduced study time and increased procrastination, with multitasking on social media impairing academic performance.

Strong communities create strong schools. I'm running because our students deserve an education that prepares them not just to pass tests, but to understand they can make a real difference through engagement and involvement. Over the coming weeks I'll share more about each of my priorities — and I want to hear from you along the way.
