I am running for Marana Unified School District governing board as a way to strengthen opportunities for kids in the Marana area. I started my career teaching at Marana High School before moving to Pima Community College, where I have taught the last 15 years. My children have grown up in the Marana School District, and we have been grateful for every opportunity they have had. I believe that I have a perspective that could add value to the district and our community, and am excited to serve.
