Chris has always believed that community service is more than something you do—it's a way of life. As a former CMCSS student, parent, and teacher, Chris has experienced the school system from every perspective, giving her a unique understanding of the needs of students, families, educators, and staff. Her commitment to education and the Clarksville-Montgomery County community extends well beyond the classroom.

She has hosted four international exchange students, volunteered as a GED educator, created a STEM after-school program for the Nashville Public Library, and helped revive the Interact Club at Clarksville High School, reconnecting students with meaningful opportunities to serve their community. These experiences have reinforced Chris's belief that strong schools are built through strong communities. She is committed to fostering partnerships, supporting students, families, and educators, and ensuring every child has the opportunity to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
