A Message from Amy:
As a 25-year resident of Pine and a parent of two children who have gone through the Pine-Richland School District, I have had the opportunity to see firsthand the many aspects of our students’ educational journeys. Each of my children has had a unique experience, which has given me valuable insight into the diverse opportunities and challenges within our schools.
My background as both an attorney and a stay-at-home mom has shaped my ability to analyze issues from multiple perspectives. As an attorney, I bring strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills—qualities that are essential in reviewing policies, budgets, and district initiatives. As a parent, I understand the importance of balancing academic excellence, extracurricular opportunities, and student well-being. I have been deeply involved in the school community, from volunteering in elementary classrooms to supporting the Pine-Richland Dance Team as a booster.
I have attended, watched, and spoken at school board meetings, and I am committed to ensuring transparency, accountability, and thoughtful decision-making for our district. Additionally, my experience serving as treasurer for a nonprofit organization demonstrates my ability to manage finances responsibly and advocate for those in need.
Beyond my professional and volunteer roles, I have been a football mom, baseball mom, hockey mom, and now a dance mom, giving me an even broader understanding of the activities and passions that enrich our students' lives. I believe my combination of legal expertise, community involvement, and firsthand parental experience will allow me to positively contribute to the Pine-Richland School Board.
I am excited about the opportunity to serve our students, parents, and educators and to work collaboratively toward maintaining and improving the high standards of Pine-Richland.
