Thank You, Berkeley Heights

I am overwhelmed and humbled by the support I received over the past three years. It has not been an easy journey for many parents who have been vocal about change.

I am grateful beyond any measure for the number of people who came to the polls in support of change.

Words cannot adequately describe how Berkeley Heights united for its students and teachers during this election.

I will work hard every single day to bring the focus back to academics, transparency, and accountability. I will be dedicated to ensuring that our schools run efficiently, and effectively and that our children get a world-class education that equips them for their futures. I believe that we need to prepare our children to be able to compete globally. I will work to rebuild trust in the Board of Education.

Thank You, Berkeley Heights – with Love and Gratitude
