The Oak Grove School District played a vital role in developing the educator and community member that I am today. I am a former student, and it is also where I began my teaching career. Our schools are the cornerstone of our community. It will take all of us – students, parents, guardians, educators, & community members – working together to make decisions that will impact us all.
  • I am committed to supporting a Community Schools Model, which empowers all stakeholders to be the decision makers through a grassroots democratic process.
  • I am committed to ensuring that each of our educators is able to live & work in the areas that they serve & that they are fully equipped to serve each of our students.
  • I am committed to ensuring that our schools have the infrastructure & that educators have resources & methods to keep everyone safe.
The Oak Grove School District played a vital role in developing the educator and community member that I am today. I am a former student, and it is also where I began my teaching career. Currently, I am a middle school teacher, and I serve on the California Teachers Association’s statewide board. I earned a Doctorate in Education Leadership from San Jose State University.

Over the past three years, we have endured countless challenges as a result of COVID-19, which has also brought many of the inequities within our public schools to the forefront. Safety remains a priority for everyone. Our district continues to suffer from declining enrollment and losing educators to higher paying districts. As your Trustee, I will support a Community Schools Model, which brings students, parents, educators, and community members together to identify and implement solutions to the challenges of our district. Through this model, I will prioritize safety, equity, living wages, and affordable housing. I am committed to working alongside each of you to build enduring and inclusive schools and communities.

I am grateful to be endorsed by the Oak Grove Educators Association. Together, we can transform our community for the better and I hope to earn your vote. Let’s build at www.taunyajaco.org.
