“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Mandela summarized best why Wallingford invests valuable taxpayer dollars to educate and prepare our children. I have the business training, the corporate experience and the community involvement to safeguard that investment – without mortgaging our town’s future. My technology training business provides the career insights for curriculum planning and job readiness, as well as the flexibility to volunteer in the School and youth projects. I have been recognized around the state for creating partnerships and uniting people ‘across the aisles’ to do good things – race for a cure, rally to keep jobs in Wallingford or create a scholarship program. This is a dream come true to consider giving back to this great town of Wallingford on the Board of Education.”
