Residence: Gettysburg, Ward 3 Education: Community College of Baltimore County â Criminal Justice Political Experience: None Community involvement: I am an assistant Scout Leader for Troop 79, an assistant baseball coach with Cal Ripken Jr. Baseball, a parent volunteer at Lincoln Elementary School, and a board member of GARA (Gettysburg Area Recreation Authority). What makes you the best candidate? I care about our community, including the school district. The best way to help out our community is not by complaining and criticizing from behind a keyboard. Volunteering and making the time to help others is an investment in our community and makes a difference, which is why I have been actively involved in numerous community organizations over the last five years. I also recognize that I donât have all the answers to every problem, but Iâm willing to put the time into finding them. As a school board member, I would seek out the opinions of individuals who have expertise in certain areas, depending on the issue. I will research any topics that I am not familiar with to give you a complete and honest answer. I am committed to putting in the time, effort, and due diligence to make the best decisions for our students, their families, teachers, administrators, and support staff. I realize that any decisions made for our schools impact all of these people and I look forward to working together as a team to provide an education and opportunities for our students. I have two children who are currently enrolled in the Gettysburg Area School District, so I have first hand experience with what is happening in our schools and I have concerns like all parents. I will give a voice to the families who need to be heard and an ear to listen as well.
