From a young age, I was always drawn to helping others. In fact, my first grade teacher had to constantly tell me to sit down once I'd finished with my work because I circulated the room helping others. My life's calling is as an Art and Dance Teacher in WV's public schools, where I am finishing my twelfth year at Hannan Jr. Sr. High School in Mason County. During this time, while I have found joy in helping young people find their creative voice, I have simultaneously seen how policies passed and decisions made have not always been in the best interest of Putnam County Students and Teachers.
The people of Putnam County work too hard NOT to have their voices heard and represented. I believe that just as I work to serve each child in my class, I also want to serve each person in Putnam County as your Board of Education Representative.
