Dear friends & neighbors
A.B.
Since moving to Marietta a little over eight years ago, I have fallen in love with this town, its people and this incredible community.
Our family quickly grew roots here, and my heart has continually been drawn to the schools. From cheering on the football and volleyball teams at Marietta High School, serving on the School Governance Team at West Side Elementary, coaching basketball at Park Street Elementary, and chairing the Board at First Presbyterian Weekday Preschool, my passion is to support and serve our system’s children and teachers.
I am so excited to let you know that I have decided to run for Marietta City Schools’ Board of Education in November. While Randy Weiner has left big shoes to fill for Ward 3, I am up for the challenge and am eager for the opportunity to serve our community in this way.
I am not a politician or a partisan insider. I am simply a devoted educator and a mother to three wonderful children. I do, however, have a wealth of experience in education that I can leverage to serve our community well in this role.
I would love nothing more than to use my past experiences to serve, support and develop our schools here in Marietta. If elected, I commit to being approachable and open to feedback. I want to know what you feel is working well and where you have concerns.
Together we can work towards an even stronger Marietta. I would love your support, your voice, and for those in Ward 3 -- your vote for School Board in November!
Your Neighbor,
Experienced
