Letter to the Medfield Community,

With over a decade of experience working in schools, and in my current work as an Assistant Principal in Wrentham, I have a deep understanding how schools work to serve all of our students well. The most compelling reason I can provide to vote for me is the combination of my past experience as an educator and my continued experience working in schools every single day.

Among all of the current school committee members, and candidates for this election, I am the only person that has daily experience working in schools with students and their families, collaborating with teachers and community organizations, engaging with all stakeholders. This is experience that I’ve had throughout the pandemic, and will continue to have as we plan for, and return to, full in-person learning. This is what will make me a valuable addition to the Medfield School Committee and an unmatched advocate for all of our students during these challenging times.
