I am a former high school history and government teacher, a parent to two young girls, and a spouse to a middle school guidance counselor. I am a Certified Financial Planner® with a majority of clients who are teachers or former teachers, and I am also a member of Littleton Public Schools' Accountability Committee. I am committed to increasing funding for our public schools and improving education services to all students in our state. I believe the best investment we can make is in our children through our public school system. The first step in improving K-12 funding is to develop a plan using existing funds without raising taxes.
