It is time to take a career’s worth of passion and proven effectiveness and lead the effort to drastically improve campus safety, student well-being, transparent curriculum and academic success in the NMUSD.
I vow to lead the fight as NMUSD Area 5 Trustee. It would be an honor to serve in Newport Mesa. I will advocate for the most important members of our community – our children.- Campus Safety & Student Well-being. We must fortify our campuses and ensure that the district has the best pipeline of mental health services that respect and encourage parent input.
- Parents' Rights: I will advocate for parents - I want immediate engagement with parents in the form of townhalls and oversight committees for curriculum, etc.. that have parent representation.
- Factual/Transparent Curriculum: Parents have the right to know all that is taught in the classroom. Historically and scientifically accurate materials must be a top priority in our schools.
