Hey! My name is Vibhaas, a Senior at Dublin Jerome High School with a strong passion for Finance, Public Policy, and Economics. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports (especially basketball and soccer), watching shows, and spending time with my family and friends. I am also deeply involved in community service, currently serving as the National Student Youth Director for PURE (People for Urban and Rural Education), a non-profit organization that aims to bridge the gap between children and education. When I first heard about Kristy’s campaign and her goals, I was very eager to help out, as her approach to make every student’s voice heard really stood out. Our school district needs a leader who puts students first and works to ensure their needs are met. Through the opportunities she plans to provide and the numerous policies she pushes for, I believe Kristy could shape this district into a place where every student feels empowered, supported, and prepared for success beyond the classroom.​

Hello, my name is Claire and I'm a Senior at Dublin Scioto High School and Tolles Career and Technical School. I aspire to be a future entrepreneur, so I spend a lot of time working, focusing on extracurricular activities, and volunteering at local events and fundraisers. In my free time I love baking, playing the saxophone in my high school's marching band, and hanging out with my friends. I'm very excited to be on Kristy's campaign because of how heavily she supports pathway options for students; for a very long time schools have focused soley on higher education, but expanding pathways to career readiness and entrepreneurship allows far more students to have a successful life after graduating. As someone who goes to Tolles and studies culinary, career readiness has opened up a whole new world of opportunity for me and numerous other DCS students, and Kristy's campaign is a fantastic opportunity to help expand pathways and create opportunities for all!

My name is Gauri, and I am currently a rising senior at Dublin Jerome High School. I take great pride in being actively involved in my community through volunteering and participating in after-school clubs, which provide me with opportunities to connect with my community and support meaningful causes. In my free time, I enjoy reading and listening to music.

One of the aspects I value most about our school district is the emphasis on empowering students to take ownership of their learning. I am excited to be part of this campaign team because Mrs. Kristy truly understands the importance of student voices, and I believe she will do an incredible job in further elevating them. I feel honored to be a part of such a fantastic team.

Hello, my name is Leah, and I am a senior at Dublin Coffman High School. Within Dublin City Schools, I serve as a representative for the Class of 2026 on the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council and am an active member of the National Honor Society. Outside of school, I work as a sales associate at Vernacular Boutique in Old Dublin. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, doing nails, and spending time downtown.

I was eager to join Kristy’s team because I greatly admire her commitment to improving Dublin City Schools. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Kristy during her time at the Central Office and have always appreciated the insight and encouragement she’s provided me over the years. As I approach the end of my time in the district, I am especially grateful for leaders like Kristy—individuals who not only address the needs of today but are dedicated to building a lasting legacy for the future.

Hello! My name is Sophie and I am a Senior at Dublin Coffman High School. I love being involved in my community, but I find special interest in the arts and nature! 

You can often find me doing technical theater around Dublin/Columbus, and exploring different art galleries and nature walks around the city! I wanted to join Kristy’s campaign to help foster the community that I have grown up in. Kristy creates a space for students to flourish in Dublin City Schools, and as a life-long Dublin student, I feel passionately about instilling leaders who allow students voices and ideas not only to be heard, but played out.

Hi! My name is Anna, and I graduated from Dublin Scioto High School in 2022. I am a rising senior at Case Western Reserve University, where I am a Marketing major with a Japanese minor. I spent this past spring semester studying abroad in Tokyo, Japan, and I loved every moment of it! Outside of school, I love to draw, watch documentaries, and hang out with my dog at the park. I wanted to join Kristy's campaign because I was searching for an internship that would allow me to apply what I have learned in the classroom and gain real-world marketing experience. Kristy is passionate about providing students with opportunities to grow not only as learners, but also as leaders. As a DCS alumnus who benefited from programs like the academies at Emerald Campus, I want to help future students continue to receive the incredible opportunities that Dublin has to offer.

Hi! My name is Rhea and I am a Senior at Dublin Jerome High School. I am extremely passionate about helping our community, so I enjoy volunteering at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium as well as the Dublin Library! I also serve as Secretary of Dublin Tech Club and Vice President / Social Media Manager of the NeuroNext Foundation, a non-profit organization that aims to raise funds and awareness for neurological disorders. In addition to community service, I enjoy drawing, baking, and reading. I wanted to join Kristy’s campaign because one of my favorite parts about Dublin is its diversity among students with different learning types and learning needs. I admire how Kristy aims to serve as a leader who makes each student’s voice heard, ensuring we succeed in the classroom and beyond. Especially as a DCS student, I feel that leadership is most powerful when it is fueled by those being led- us! ​​​​​
