Cabrillo Unified School DistrictCandidate for Trustee, Trustee Area D

Throughout my career of working in a diverse education field as a behavior specialist, including 4 years with Cabrillo Unified School District, I am always guided towards the most challenging roles, where I work tirelessly to develop and create innovative solutions and deliver optimal support and interventions which benefits the students, parents, and teachers alike.

I value working respectfully and dilligently in an environment that is often highly disregulated, with my main goal of providing effective tools and strategies that are based on observable and measurable data that I analyze through an objective lens.

More importantly, I always focus on the whole child in a compassionate, empathetic, and understanding nature, which are all skills that I know, paired with my Masters of Science in Education, with an emphasis in Educational Leadership, will effectively and efficiently transfer over to my role as your Cabrillo Unified School Board district leader.

I opted to forgo all political partisan endorsements, as I feel there is no room on our school board for any other platform, other than that of the unique needs of our rural coastal community in Half Moon Bay. However, I look forward to working with all stakeholders, including CA legislatures, to develop important programs and legislation that will have a positive impact for our students, parents, and teachers alike. 

Throughout my robust career in the education field, I can tell you one thing is for sure. No matter how much district leaders communicate to their stakeholders the latest “trending” terms and use of analogies and inspirational quotes, this will never help guide a classroom, school, or district in a positive direction, no matter how many times the use of rhetoric in its finest form is used to talk about equity, safety, and progress.

The fact is this, we need to pay our teachers a living wage and truly bridge the achievement gap that is heavily impacting our Latino/Hispanic and socioeconomically disadvantaged community here in Half Moon Bay. We must ensure students of all abilities receive the necessary supports and understanding that should be afforded to each and every one of our scholars.

Finally, we must bring community accountability to all stakeholders, by providing objective and transparent communication, that is not only heard but truly understood.
