Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As both a mother and an educator, I know what it takes to empower students and families and am deeply invested in doing so. I am looking forward to using my extensive knowledge and expertise to serve the CUSD community as a Governing Board Member.

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?

• Smaller Class Sizes - nearly 40 students in a class is too many
• Respecting and Acknowledging the Diversity in Our District
• Consistent and Stabilizing Learning Environments for our kids

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Our students need the kind of attention and guidance from their teachers that simply can not be attained in classes with 35-45 students. Reducing class sizes by better allocating the resources the District has would allow students to return to school post-COVID more quickly and deliver better outcomes as well.

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

Allocating resources to provide the best possible outcome for all students must be the number one priority of any Board member.

Who are your constituents?

Every child that goes to a Clovis school, every parent of a child that goes to a Clovis School, and every person who benefits from the strong reputation Clovis Schools have maintained.

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

I support those interests by understanding them. I'm a former Classroom Teacher with nearly 20 years of experience in Education at the K-12, vocational, university and Doctoral level.

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?

More than half the students in Clovis Unified are minority students, and the administration, teachers and curriculum of the district should reflect this diversity.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
