1 in 4 students in Virginia Beach City Public Schools is military-connected. That's approximately 16,000 kids navigating deployments, frequent school changes, and in too many cases, grief, while trying to learn.

As a Navy veteran and Gold Star spouse, I know firsthand what those kids are carrying. And I know the difference between a school system that checks a box and one that actually shows up for them.

I'm running for District 10 School Board to Advocate for military kids and their families with the full weight of personal experience. Every school that serves military-connected students should have dedicated, trained support. Not a designation on a webpage. Real support. Present and prepared before a family ever has to ask for it.

As your School Board Member, I'll make sure that gap gets closed. Because these kids have already sacrificed enough.
