Why I'm Running
ACHIEVEMENT, WELL BEING, TRUST
I know we can do better for the schools, students, teachers, and families in our district.
As a business leader and active community member for almost two decades, I want to build a county with a thriving public education system. As a parent of a middle schooler, I have a personal stake in the education and support we offer our children. I am running because I want to propel academic achievement for all students. I am running because I want to remove barriers for our teachers. I am running because we need to rebuild trust in our schools.
Our future is our children, and they need real-world skills to be successful in school and in life. Along with core competencies, we need to foster effective communicators, innovative thinkers and problem-solvers, and caring individuals.
I am committed to being an advocate and partner with our students, parents, educators, and community leaders across all South Santa Clara County. Schools should be centers of our community.
