Before farming, I worked as a non-profit director, community facilitator, and youth leadership supervisor. I have supervised others in these positions, responsible for hiring, firing, and facilitating healthy team dynamics.
I have been a volunteer soccer coach with the Pacific Soccer Club. I volunteer at Union Ridge Elementary by collaborating with kindergarten teachers to create a curriculum that teaches children how to plant seeds to grow a salad garden.
- After five faiiled school bonds, all of our schools are overcrowded. We need a new approach to engaging voters and a community-wide effort to get a bond passed.
- Our school district is at a crucial juncture. We have a superintendent vacancy, and the school board hires the superintendent. Because of my extensive experience running a business and a nonprofit, I am the right person to help with this critical decision.
- I am known as a consensus builder who can lead groups to agreement by focusing on the group's larger goals. At a time when school boards face divisive obstacles, this type of leadership is sorely needed.
