Bio: A short bio of no more than 100 words (keep in mind it will appear in the voter guide right above the other biographical facts below): I have practiced law, taught at Emory University's School of Public Health, consulted on mental health issues with The Carter Center, and worked in both government and with non-profits. I have a strong commitment to public services, particularly in public health and education. As the daughter of middle school teachers, each of whom spent nearly 40 years in public education, I respect the dedication necessary to educate our students. That understanding coupled with my background in science, law, and public policy has been invaluable for my work on the Albemarle County School Board.
