I am a parent to four children currently attending Bacich and Kent,
and am a fourth generation Marin native.
Over the last five years as an elected Trustee, I helped lead two
successful bond and parcel tax measures to make our schools safer and
prepared for 21st century learning. During my term, Bacich and Kent
have consistently scored among the top schools in the state as
California Distinguished Schools, and Kent earned a California Gold
Ribbon for Science in 2015.
I believe outstanding public schools are fundamental to a thriving
community. In 2013, I ran for the KSD Board to help foster a more
inclusive community and open, transparent communication. During my
tenure, I have served on the District Communication and English
Learner Advisory Committees, and feel proud of our work to improve
community engagement.
Civic leadership and community involvement have always been important
to me. For 20+ years I’ve served on national and local boards. Apart
from the KSD Board, I served as Chair of the KSD Safe Routes to School
Program for 7 years, and currently serve as Vice-President of the
Kentfield-Greenbrae Historical Society. In May, 2017, I felt honored
to be recognized as one of the "Young Women Leaders of Marin" by the
Marin Women's Political Action Committee (MWPAC).
I have held executive positions in both the corporate and public
sector in business development and strategy. I received degrees from
Marin Catholic High School, UC Berkeley, and Oxford University. If
re-elected, I will continue to ensure responsible fiscal stewardship
of our resources; serve as an independent voice within the KSD Board; and always be accessible within our community.
I feel honored to have served on the Kentfield School Board as a Trustee for the past five years, and hope to continue the important work for our students and community.
