My Roots: A Little About Me
My family has called Martin's Mill home for three generations. While I grew up in Dallas, almost every weekend of my childhood, we loaded up the car and headed to "The Mill." My mom grew up here, on the property next door to where I live today, and graduated from Martin's Mill High School.When my parents retired, they moved into the house my uncle, Lucian Mitchell, built in the late 1960s. That's my home today! My mom's "claim to fame" was her involvement in the curation and creation of the History Wall on display at the Martin's Mill Store.My professional career has ranged from serving in leadership roles at large faith-based organizations in Arizona and Texas to management positions at a publicly traded HVAC manufacturer. I've had countless experiences with boards of directors, C-Suite executives, volunteers, and passionate stakeholders, and I'll bring those experiences and learnings to the Martin's Mill School Board as we help guide the education of our future leaders.
Why I'm Running for the School Board
When a few established and respected local individuals asked me to run for the School Board, I considered it carefully before saying yes. As a third-generation Martin's Mill resident, I'm running out of respect and appreciation for their confidence in me, to honor my mother and our Martin's Mill family, and to serve, in any way I can, the community that has shaped my family and countless other families for over a century.
