| Collapse all
- former Student Trustee - former Accreditation Task Force Member - former Student Shared Governance Coordinator - former Student Body President - former Student Body Vice President of Administration - former elected Senator - former Black Student Union president, and - a former retention program student worker charged with giving campus tours to and recruiting SFUSD high school students to attend CCSF
I’m experienced in engaging the community to make CCSF the powerhouse it once was when I first enrolled, when CCSF boasted a 110,000 student enrollment.
I have been endorsed by:
Service Employees International Union Local 1021 The Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s LGBT Newspaper The San Francisco Green Party San Francisco District 11 Democrats (honorable mention)
I possess three decades of work experience in government, nonprofit administration, student services administration, public education, community organizing, and radio production.
I currently teach at high schools throughout San Francisco, Alameda and San Mateo counties. I received 50,000 votes in my 2012 CCSF candidacy and 57,000 votes in my 2014 CCSF candidacy. I was only 8,000 votes short of winning in 2014, and received more than a dozen endorsements.
- I want to developers partnerships between CCSF and the City’s largest employers to build a pipeline to employment for CCSF students
- Introduce new programs that expose students to growing fields, such as urban planning and data science.
- Expand high school concurrent enrollment, older adult learning and other programs based upon community need.
I helped to establish San Francisco’s first Youth Commission. I am very much interested in ensuring that groups that are traditionally underrepresented have equitable access to opportunities to attain the same successes as someone making $133,000 or median income in the Bay Area.
