Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to the holistic development of young people. As a Cincinnati native, a graduate of the School for the Creative & Performing Arts, and a parent of CPS graduates, I have been part of the CPS ecosystem for over four decades. I have taught middle school, high school, and college for over twenty-five years, and I run a nonprofit organization that exposes young people to college and careers in the creative fields.
In earnest, I love Cincinnati Public Schools, but with a love that both pushes and lifts. We are not yet what we need to be. Still, I am convinced that we have everything we need to reach the levels of greatness that ensure our students achieve at the highest levels, our teachers excel, and our administrators lead with integrity, vision, and the boldness necessary for CPS to be a catalyst for change in our region.
It won't be easy. Nothing worth having ever is.
So, let's get to work.
Every child in our district should have access to the same rigorous, high-quality education that best prepares them for a workforce where thinking critically and creatively to solve difficult problems is a baseline.
The success of Cincinnati Public Schools is unquestionably a cross-sectoral endeavor that requires much-needed collaborations with families, the city government, civil services, the business community, and other key stakeholders. I am committed to ensuring that such collaborations will produce a collective impact that will make our city better for years to come.

The CPS Board is responsible for establishing policies and determining the district's strategic direction. It's also responsible for fighting for the resources to ensure our students thrive. Public schools in Ohio and across the nation are highly vulnerable to budget cuts that will be destructive to our ability to provide equitable, high-quality education for all of our students.
Coming together to fight for funding equity is mandatory.
“The ability to read, write, and analyze; the confidence to stand up and demand justice and equality; the qualifications and connections to get your foot in the door and take your seat at the table — all of that starts with education.”
—Michelle Obama
