Sonja consistently collaborates and educates administrators, teachers, district personnel, and the broader community to identify risks, implement effective safety protocols, and respond swiftly to concerns and emergencies.

Her dedication, integrity, and expertise make her an invaluable asset. I strongly support her continued work protecting our children and those who serve them.
