I believe my strengths of teamwork, connectedness, positivity and reflection will contribute to the effectiveness of our City Council. I am a team player who understands that developing trust, our skills and capacity results in a higher functioning, more responsive team. I also see the big picture and recognize the connections between the smaller pieces and how it influences the whole. As I served with other volunteers in 2015 to raise funds for our coworker and beloved teacher with ALS and door knocked in 2014 and 2017 to help our community learn about school referendums, we understood our purpose and had a goal to achieve. I am a positive leader who believes we can have high expectations for ourselves and others and learn from our mistakes. I am a reflective, listening leader who seeks to understand and strives to ensure people can share their perspectives, feel recognized and valued. In 2014, I led a process to engage our community and seek feedback from stakeholders to prepare for our School District’s strategic planning sessions. Our online survey and community listening sessions resulted in participation from over 600 residents. The community feedback helped our strategic planning committee have a broader understanding of our strengths and areas for improvement as a School District. In 2018, I was honored to receive the Villager of the Year award and humbled to learn 14 residents of St. Anthony wrote letters of support for my nomination. Again, I recognize the trust I have developed over time with our community members and families and take that responsibility seriously every day.
