About our Policy Maker:
I am a 22-year Kent resident and a business and community affairs consultant focusing on technology and non-profit technical assistance. My long-term role as a volunteer with multiple organizations demonstrates my leadership in the community, particularly on education issues. One challenge facing families and schools is the lack of proper communication channels and the necessary support systems to ensure that every child succeeds in school and in life. With your support, I will ensure that all children have equal access and opportunities to reach their full potential.
