“I am a proud product of North Carolina’s public schools – from K-12 through college – as are my husband and children. There is no better mechanism for educating our state’s children and building a strong economy for our state than our public schools. This is why I got engaged with BEST NC in its early days in 2014. I will be honored to serve on the board for BEST NC because it prioritizes students, teachers, and school leadership in advocating for evidence-based solutions that will drive our education system forward.”
