...as a member of the National Honor Society and the Debate Team. I attended
SIUE and graduated in 1990 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. I moved
to Miami, Florida for graduate school and I couldn't wait to get back home! I
graduated from Florida International University in 1992 with a Masters Degree in
International Relations. I came back home and obtained a J.D. from Washington
University in 1995. I am currently a practicing attorney.

Now I am raising my kids in Granite and love the community. My three sons
attend Granite City schools. But in order to keep Granite strong and a wonderful
place for kids to grow up, we must do everything we can to keep the schools in
Granite strong and give every child the opportunity to excel in the classroom
and in extra-curricular activities that inspire and challenge them. Let's keep
Granite strong!

STRONG SCHOOLS = STRONG COMMUNITY
