I'm running for re-election for a seat on the Phillipsburg School District Board of Education. Some background about me. I'm a Mother of 4 boys, Founder of a local Autism Non-Profit and owner of Branching Out- PAGE ONE RESOURCE CENTER LLC. that focuses on providing support to our special need families as well as all students in the district and surrounding areas.

My youngest son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 3 he is now 13 years old. Since then I have been an advocate for him as well as others. Through the non-profit I founded we raise funds for Autism trainings as well as host a local support group that advocates for children in our Area. I also give back to my community by hosting an annual Sensitive Santa event that has been held since 2014. In 2021 we were able to bring Santa to personally deliver Christmas to over 30 families.

If I have the honor of being re-elected this will be my 3rd term of Advocating for our Kids, Teachers and Community.

During the time I spent on the board. I learned that not every decision will be liked but it will always be the right decision for our town. It seemed like during this Pandemic the toughest decisions needed to be made. Although difficult I voted with the community in mind and will continue to do just that. I have participated in the NJSBA trainings and was awarded a Certified Board Member certificate. My dedication to the students in this district is unwavering. Your kids have become my kids and they will remain the forefront of any decision that I make.

I'm not about talk, I'm about Action! I see a community that needs advocates like me who will continue to do what is right for our community. If you want to continue to see change, I'm that voice. Vote on November 8th !!
