My Work, Dedication, and Future Outlook

Reasons You Should Vote for Me

​

I have dedicated over two decades to serving the East Orange Education Association in various roles, including as the current President, Vice President, Secretary, Grievance Negotiations Chair, Association Representative, and NEA-RA Delegate. As President, I have spearheaded initiatives to empower members, such as establishing member scholarships for NJEA conference participation and implementing digital voting for streamlined decision-making and inclusivity in elections.

 

I am thrilled to say that I have successfully negotiated the past two contracts and am presently fighting to settle our new contract negotiations.  I have been awarded for my work as a union labor leader in 2023 by the Essex County Democratic Committee for the work I have done to keep our Association intact and moving forward.

​

I have established communication channels and strengthened relationships with key stakeholders, including the school board, superintendent, senior cabinet, mayor, and city officials, to foster transparent dialogue and collaboration. My unwavering dedication to leading the association, particularly during the pandemic, is truly commendable.

 

I have also played a significant role in spearheading and moving the Labor Management Collaboration to become a staple necessity in the district.  My desire for the future of EOEA is to encourage members to become more proactive with their Association, provide more workshops and trainings that will assist with powerful self-advocacy, working with legislatures to move law that put a conducive timeframe to the process of settling contracts, and push that educators have more of a voice in the overall planning and decision-making processes within the district.

​

I hope that on May 15, 2024, you select me to continue the work in leading the EOEA as president.  I promise to work hard for and with you!
