Main issues: The three focal points of her campaign are to create, build and sustain behaviors for successful academic outcomes. She said creating sound mental behavior allows schools to implement best practices that meet the diverse needs of all students, and building solid emotional behavior provides schools with leverage to ensure learning strategies target the level of comprehension each child needs.

As the great-granddaughter of A. G. Gaston, she said she understands the importance of filling the needs of others to accomplish desired outcomes. “As the district 3 board member for the Jefferson county school system, I will provide that same level of servitude to every student, every parent, every teacher and staff member, principal and administrator for the improvement of our efforts to serve and educate this state of Alabama.”
