Denver School Board Member
My Vision
It is my intention, if elected to continue on the Denver School Board, to do everything I can to help students of all races, ethnicities, economic backgrounds, and LGBTQIA identities to achieve success. I will strive to help DPS provide the mental and emotional support many children need. I am open to all input, discussion, and advice to achieve these goals and am thankful for his opportunity
Our team
As a family law attorney in metro Denver, I have witnessed the devastation that the Opioid epidemic and the COVID-19 pandemic have had on families and children. During the pandemic, I have also seen how virtual education has left many young children lacking fundamental skills. In the past two years, I have represented families whose teenage children have attempted suicide, cut themselves, and overdosed on drugs. For the first time in 25 years as a family law attorney, I have encountered multiple children who have lost young parents to opioids and COVID-19. These cases are heartbreaking for children who do not know what school they will attend in the Fall or which family member they will live with.
Our Challenge
We are all facing unprecedented challenges caused by the pandemic, the many children who have lost parents and grandparents to both the pandemic and the opioid crisis. I am fighting for my young grandchildren, LGBTQIA children targeted and bullied by current political assaults on their right to exist and be included and children who missed out on critical reading and math skills.
