Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

From 2003 to 2020 I was the Department Chair of the Laney College Machine Technology Program. I worked to build the program from one that was almost down to one of the best in the state of California. In 2015 the California Industrial and Technology Education Association named me Community College Instructor of the Year .In 2019 Laney College selected me as the winner of the We Rise Award as Laney Faculty of the Year. I have worked in career education at the college level, regional level, and statewide level. I have also worked with local employers like the San Francisco Public utilities Commission and EBMUD to build apprenticeship and bring women and people of color into these high paying skilled trades jobs. I am the only candidate of current members of the board of trustees that has experience in workforce development and building apprenticeship, I believe we need to expand our outreach to new areas of our community that we have not been serving. I also believe no organization can successfully manage a 150 million dollar budget without a strategic plan and strategic goals.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Create a new strategic plan for the District and use strategic goals and shared governance to drive the new budget.
• Align the District's Budget around student success and stop cutting classes.
• Expand enrollment thorough increased marketing and and focused outreach efforts to groups we have ignored.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

For the past 45 years I have been involved either in my own apprenticeship or building apprenticeship and career training that leads to good paying jobs and job security. I want a chance to continue to do this work as a trustee for the Peralta Community College District. We have a vibrant economy in the East Bay and programs in the Peralta District that will provide them with the workforce the need to grow. Many of these programs are involved in new green technologies that address global worming issues. We also have large numbers of people that lack GEDs or High School Diplomas. By partnering with Adult Education we can offer them and our large migrant communities free access to these programs.
I am also strongly committed to strategic planning and continuous improvement as a process that will better align our students and communities education for the future.
