What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

providing the best education available to students

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

There are many people whom I admire. To pick one would be difficult. I would rather respond to this inquiry with: I want to lead a good life, with my values of integrity, respect, honesty, commitment, family, spirituality, positive attitude, and genuineness defining my behavior and outlook on life.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

President Kennedy assination, 1964. 18 years old

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Alcolac Chemical 1.5 years

What is the primary job of a school board member in your view?

The primary responsibility is to act in the best interests of every student in the district. It also has commitments to the parents, the community, the employees, the laws pertaining to public education and the established policies of the district.

Who are your constituents?

Our constituents are the students, parents and guardians, members of the community, the employees, and the state of CA.

How would you support the diverse needs of your district’s students, faculty, staff, and community?

I support the programs that are already in place in the district to handle the diverse needs of their constituents

How will you build relationships with members of the broader community? Which groups, organizations, stakeholders will you specifically target?

I belong to some of the community-service organizations that are willing to work the schools, i.e. Rotary, Elks, Sunnyvale Community Services.

Do you believe it is important to intentionally recruit with the aim of diversifying the district’s faculty, staff, and administration? If so, what would be your policy to achieve this?

I believe that if you seek the best qualified individuals, without looking at the color of someone's skin or the accent they have, the diverse recruitment efforts should be taken care of, because one the board's primary responsibilities is to act in the best interests of every student, and to me, it is providing an excellent academic environment where all students thrive to meet their potential and be provided the best opportunities possible.

What will you do to build a relationship with parents in the district? What plans do you have to be inclusive of parental involvement?

I have had and will always have an open-door policy, making myself available to all constituents.
