About me

Meet your candidate

I am a JAMS parent living in the Pico neighborhood of Santa Monica, with my husband, Jim, and our son. My husband and I chose Santa Monica as our home so that our son would be able to attend the excellent SMMUSD schools with its many enrichment opportunities.

Since moving to Santa Monica, I have been very involved at my son’s school and have spent numerous hours volunteering at both the school and district levels.

I was elected to DELAC (District English Learners Advisory Committee), ELAC (English Learner Advisory Committee), Edison PTA, and PTA Council, and appointed to LCAP PAC.

Many people will probably recognize me from speaking at school board meetings, my leadership roles in PTA, participating in volunteer opportunities, or from seeing me with my son at the playgrounds at Virginia Avenue and Clover parks.

We love Santa Monica!

 

 

I care about SMMUSD students

I am passionate about public education. I believe that all students should have an excellent public education. I was a student learning English while attending public schools in South Central Los Angeles, before moving to Portland.

I believe that I can offer a different perspective on how to address the achievement gap, and how to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our schools. I also have a proven track record of commitment to our schools and the ability to work collaboratively to get things done.

I am honored to serve as your SMMUSD School Board President!
