| “ | What sparked your interest in seeking a position on the board?
I became interested in the school board when my oldest daughter started school a couple of years ago. I felt a bit lost in the process and had discussed this with other new parents. A few of us had the idea to go to the school board members to offer ourselves as a parent committee available to assist parents entering the school district for the first time. It was then brought to my attention that there would be seats opening up on the school board. After speaking with other parents and community members, I was encouraged to help move our community forward by running for a seat. I like to be involved in all areas of my child's life especially if it means helping others in the process.[6] |

| “ | I am running for the school board with the goal to add to an already great school board.
1. I will bring first-hand professional knowledge and experience of what it takes for student to advance into colleges and universities based on my experience working at and with local institutions of higher learning. 2. I am an invested Parent. With my child currently in the Waukesha school system, decisions made by the board will have the input of a parent whose home will be directly affected by what is done. I would voice the concerns and approvals of my fellow parents and community members. 3. My 10+ years of experience in multiple areas of property management will help me provide the board with additional insight to running the numerous facilities. 4. And finally I will offer the voice of diversity. I would proudly serve as a school board member for all families in our district however, should I gain a seat, I would become the first Hispanic to serve on this board.[6] |
