Statement
Summary
Equity. Access. Success.
For nearly twenty years I’ve been committed to educational equity; ensuring that ALL students have access to a high quality and rigorous education. From teaching third graders to read at grade level to helping students apply to college and graduate school to developing support programs and services helping doctoral students earn their degree, the goal has always been the same – dream big and make it a reality. I am the Director for the College Assistance Migrant Program at Mendocino College and I have my doctorate degree in Education Policy, Organization and Leadership.
Current environmental events and Sonoma County’s economic reality means higher education is no longer a luxury but a necessity to help residents provide for themselves and their families. SRJC plays a critical role in meeting this need; I have the knowledge, skills and experience to ensure accountability, access and success!
Student success requires support – academic, financial, and emotional, that’s why I support increasing counselors and tenure track faculty. Financial support is more than just financial aid, it’s about security with housing and food. I’ll work to bring affordable student housing back to Santa Rosa Junior College and expand financial support.

My Top 3 Priorities
- Enrollment - Increasing enrollment is a paramount priority. We are not currently competitive in the state online course marketplace and we need to evaluate how to improve our showing.
- Fiscal Responsibility - Our budgets, grants, and contracts need closer scrutiny. We are not running as efficiently as we can but first we need to see better reporting and more in-depth data.
- Increased Support for Diversity - The diversity of students is increasing, the faculty is improving, but the adjuncts are way behind the curve. We need to make sure we are going everything we can to attract, support, retain and protect all.
