Every student, every school, every day.

As a school superintendent candidate, I am dedicated to ensuring the success and well-being of every student. My experience and passion drive me to create positive change and provide the best education possible for all our children.

​

Our campaign is focused on innovation, inclusivity, and excellence. We aim to elevate our schools to new heights and prepare our students for a bright future. Join us in this journey to make a difference in the lives of our students and our community.

​

I have 36 years of experience as an educator, hold a doctoral degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz, in Collaborative Leadership, and have served in various leadership roles.
