Empowering Our Students' Future

I understand the school system's strengths and opportunities.

My two daughters have always been and still are in the CBE schools:

• Primary schools: Citadel, Edgemont, Woodbine

• Middle school : John Ware

• High school : Henry Wise Wood.

I have spent a lot of time around classrooms, teachers, and school councils of these schools. I have heard first-hand what parents, students, and teachers care about most.

I will leverage my global experiences to bring best practices to our schools

What stands out to me is the power of hands-on learning and the value of speaking more than one language. I would work to bring more of that in our schools.

I bring a global perspective — I have studied in India, France, the United States and Canada!
