I'm excited to bring my experience in organizational leadership skills and balancing public budgets to fix these issues.
Like many city natives, I attended SF public schools & City College. I'm a proud US Army veteran and also worked as an Administrative Analyst for Sacramento Fire Dept, where I managed the Emergency Medical Services billing and budget, resulting in a revenue increase from $9M to $15M in my first year.
Everything that affects CCSF matters to my family. My father was a Culinary Arts Instructor at City College 2003-2005. My younger son just started his first semester at CCSF.
CCSF needs strong leaders who are willing to make difficult decisions to improve the education system.
My commitment to you is to always work toward common sense solutions to fix San Francisco's problems. A vote for me is a vote for accountability, sensibility, and balance. Thank you!- City College has 3 major problems: operating in deficit, low enrollment rates, and is in danger of losing its accreditation. I want to help fix these problems.
I am an experienced Public Servant with 11 years of US Army service in the Medical Service Corps and Military Intelligence Corps. I also have 10 years experience in the managing public budgets as an Administrative Analyst for the Sacramento Fire Department Emergency Medical Services Division.
I look forward to working with other board members, and the chancellor on coming up with a 3-5 year balanced budget to get full accreditation at City College. - My family is deeply grateful for the experience and connection we have with City College over the last 40+ years. My older brother and I were both students at City College in the 1980s. My father was a Culinary Arts Instructor 2003-2005. My 18 year old son is currently enrolled at City College. It is my passion to work with other board members, chancellor, faculty, and staff to help fix problems at City College and provide the best opportunities for students.
- I am excited to work with other board members, chancellor, academic & career advisers, faculty, and staff to maximize outreach to increase student enrollment at City College. Many graduates from City College have became successful in their profession. I would like to invite experts in each profession to come help with projects to promote student enrollment.
Later, in 1991 when I was a 19 year old soldier in the United States Army, I was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany through 1993. I went to visit the remnants of the Berlin Wall. It was a very special experience.
I called the phone number on the ad and spoke with an elderly lady who lived on Hyde Street, half block from where I lived at the time. On Saturday mornings, I would clean and organize her house. She paid me the equivalent of minimum wages at the time $3 per hour. I cleaned her house for about 1 year, until I found a job that offered me more hours each week.
Gee... I'm a tree (GEOMETRY).
