I have been involved in the schools for eleven years. I have volunteered in numerous capacities including site council, head room parent, event planning, and serving hot lunch. Throughout this time, I worked continuously with students, teachers and administrators alike. As my kids aged up and went to high school, I refocused my interest in TUHSD Board governance and District policies.
I have been engaged with board meetings and forums for the past few years. I have attended all Marin County of Education Trustee trainings. I've spoken with numerous key stakeholders including current and former administration and trustees, teachers, Foundation and PTSA Presidents, and local groups to understand the needs and landscape of the community at large. I feel doing this work is critical in order to accurately represent all TUHSD stakeholders alike- students, parents, teachers and community members.
I spent my career in Sales and learned that the best salespeople are those who listen to their customers to come up with the best solutions for them. My career also taught me to lead, communicate, organize, collaborate and negotiate. I believe these skills translate and contribute to being a good Board member. They allow me to bring a fresh perspective to the Board at a time when constructive insight is needed to make hard decisions that might come our way.
