As a lifelong resident of Franklin and a proud graduate of Franklin High School (Class of 2001), I am deeply invested in the success of our schools and community. My commitment to education and student success comes not only as a school board member but also as a parent of two children in the district—Gunner (8th grade) and Blakley (3rd grade).

Since June 2019, I have served as Deputy Clerk at Franklin Municipal Court, working for the City of Franklin. My professional experience has strengthened my dedication to public service, transparency, and effective communication—values I bring to my role on the school board.

My husband, Ryan Blevins, is also a Franklin graduate, and together, we are proud to raise our family in the same community that shaped us. Outside of my work on the board, you can often find me attending my children’s extracurricular activities or volunteering my time for the schools. I believe that strong schools are the foundation of a thriving community, and I am committed to working collaboratively to ensure every student has the support and resources needed to succeed.
