Considering your experiences and background, why are you the best choice for this school board seat?
My experience, both professionally and since retirement, provide the leadership skills needed for this school board seat. I was a member of the Administrative Team at Chambersburg Hospital when I was a Nurse Manager and Associate Director of Nursing. My teaching experience at the Franklin County Career and Technology Center Practical Nursing Program provided me with the opportunity to implement computer technology to aid in the instruction of students. I witnessed first-hand the importance of self-confidence and optimism in promoting success in the students who I served. I have been a member of various volunteer boards, including the Administrative Board at Salem United Brethren Church, the Board of the former Piney Mountain Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, and I am currently serving on the Advisory Council for the Franklin County Area Agency on Aging. I was a volunteer in the Kindergarten classroom at Buchanan Elementary School during the 2018-2019 School Year. I also actively assisted my two grandchildren during the COVID-19 school closure. My prior employment experiences, as well as my many volunteer roles in the community, make me the best choice for the Region 1 CASD school board seat.
