How many years have you lived in Clark County?

I moved to Clark County from Fayette County in 2007, so 15 years.

Do you have children in the Clark County school system currently or who have graduated from CCPS?

Both of my sons went to Providence Elementary, Clark Middle, and GRC.  My oldest graduated from GRC in 2011 and my youngest graduated in 2014.  I will one day have grandchildren that will attend school in Clark County!

Outside of the School Board, where are you employed?

I retired from the Clark County Public School System in November of 2019 after 32 years of service.  In April, I started a new job at the Kentucky Department of Education. I am a Branch Manager for Title I and Title V federal programs.

What are you most passionate about as a Board member in terms of CCPS? 

Seeing the success of our students and staff after a long battle with a global pandemic. Having protocols in place to protect our students and staff allows authentic learning to occur. I have been most impressed with the recognitions during our regular Board meetings. The pandemic has not intimidated nor will it determine the district’s future. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for CCPS!

What do you think is the Board’s most beneficial accomplishment this school year?

One of the boards most important tasks is hiring the future superintendent to lead the district to high accomplishments. The superintendent has a large role in moving the district forward beyond test scores to producing outstanding work ready adults. Finding the right person is not an easy task and the search committee did an excellent job on the front end. Dr. MCComas is ready for the challenge to lead CCPS to excellence.

What is something that you would like to see come to fruition in our district?

Completion of updating our programming so that the preschool is able to leave their current building to a state-of-the-art facility. I am an early childhood advocate and so excited to be a part of this process. Phoenix Academy is next on the list and how can the Board incorporate a new learning facility for this program as well. All students of Clark County deserve to be educated in the best environment possible and hopefully I can be a part of that process.
