Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Good stewardship of public resources should be the top priority for the Gavilan board of trustees. My background and experience in this area makes me the ideal candidate for this seat. My experience as Executive Director of a nonprofit that operates nonpublic schools, degree in accounting and career in financial management positions have given me a deep understanding of fiscal responsibility and reporting, the ability to manage priorities within budget, practice good governance, and perform the due diligence necessary to make informed decisions that are mission-driven and student-focused.

As a proud parent of a Live Oak graduate, I have continuously volunteered in leadership roles within organizations that support Morgan Hill schools and currently serve as MHUSD’s Personnel Commission President. This experience exhibits the passion and dedication I have towards utilizing my skills to aid student achievement. And as a community college graduate, I know the valuable service that Gavilan offers, so I will do my part to ensure it thrives via conscientious fiduciary oversight, continues to grow with our community and offers enriching programs for south bay residents seeking pathways towards a better future!

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?

• Gavilan needs board members who are able to make informed decisions from consistent and transparent financial reports.
• Increasing enrollment must be a priority of Gavilan's new president and board of trustees.
• Equity in supports, services and programs offered must include students with learning differences.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Education, particularly for students with learning differences.
