Every family in Marietta should have a real say in the decisions, policies, curriculum, and budgets that shape our children’s education and future.

My Vision

Evolving Evidence-Based Curriculum

Powerful Multi-Lingual Family Engagement

Safe and Supportive Schools

Our annual curriculum reviews should be shared openly with the community, inviting actionable recommendations and fostering transparency. By engaging families, educators, and experts in this process, we can build a curriculum that reflects the needs of our kids and the realities of a changing world.When we work together to tackle challenges, we ensure every voice is heard and solutions reflect the needs of our whole community.When our schools are safe and supportive, teachers can teach, students can learn, and parents can breathe easier. Everyone thrives when the focus stays on education—not fear or uncertainty.

<h2>All of our kids deserve to be seen and supported.</h2><img src="https://run.imgix.net/32b5cd1e-fe41-473f-9c0f-8bd623d90805/266773c2-7798-4afc-9857-e073af3b1098/266773c2-7798-4afc-9857-e073af3b1098.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C142%2C1291%2C1063&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"><h3>"Because I wasn’t always seen, I fight to ensure every child is."</h3>I have been deeply involved in child welfare, education, and community work across Texas, New York, Miami, and now here in Marietta. As a Court Appointed Special Advocate and Young Center Child volunteer, I am a passionate and fierce advocate for at-risk children in state custody and foster care. As a collaborative parent representative, I have led family engagement initiatives and presented the outcomes to school administration. I served as a vital liaison between teachers and families to ensure educators feel supported by a strong and engaged community.Born and raised in the Bronx, by a single mom and incarcerated dad - I know what it takes to survive and then eventually thrive. My mom worked 16-hour shifts in Rikers Island as a Correction Officer to provide for us - always reminding me that college wasn't a choice, it was the only path to success. I took her words to heart. I went to Title I schools and graduated with honors from the State University of New York College at Cortland a semester early. As a new graduate, I chased my dreams - first to Texas where I became a homeowner and then to London to gain international experience in technology. As a single working mom, I moved to Miami to be close to family. And now I call Marietta home. A home where I intend to be the voice of all families, no matter how long we have lived here or where we are from.
