Meet Makiza
Carver county has welcomed my family and me with open arms. We have made more connections here than in any other place we have lived.
This community has given us the opportunity to be seen and heard. It is only right that my family and I return the favor. There is much life, growth, and opportunity here. My wife sees it every day as a teacher in this community. Therefore, I want to make sure that all of our community students and members also feel seen and heard in every school in our district.

our society
Building Bridges highlights that we are more alike than different. We have lived through a time where our society has been divided by ideologies and political alliances.
UNITED AS ONE
Building bridges weaves together our individual backgrounds and experiences to create a better community for our children.
