Gun Sense Candidate Distinction
The Gun Sense Candidate Distinction shows that I am an advocate for gun violence prevention, and will govern with gun safety in mind.
Measure T
I am standing beside Pacifica Teachers in support of Measure T. Our schools are struggling with budget issues already, and we need Measure T to pass in order to avoid more difficult cuts. At the 9/23/26 school board meeting, the district’s financial advisor revealed plans to cut 14 full time employees next year in order to meet budget goals. That is the plan if Measure T passes, which means the situation could be much worse if the measure fails. Cutting 14 FTEs is a non-starter for me; there simply must be another way to balance the budget without playing politics with the careers of our teachers. I promise to make a full audit of the budget my first priority, and to investigate every other avenue before even beginning to consider eliminating jobs.

Candidate Statement
I am running for Pacifica School Board because I care about education in our community. I was born and raised in the Bay Area, and benefitted from excellent public schools. After graduating from Northgate High School, I took classes at Diablo Valley College. From there, I transferred to San Jose State University, and earned my degree in Biological Sciences. I paid for my degree by working retail and applying for grants, which taught me a lot about the cost and value of education. I have also been volunteering with charitable causes since childhood, including recently becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children in San Mateo County. I believe my history and perspective would make me an effective school board member.
As a board member, my primary focus would be restoring trust and collaboration between the district and the families it serves. This can only be done through increased transparency, listening to parents and students, and doing our best to meet or exceed their needs. My secondary focus would be locating funding for our district. I would make sure the district is utilizing existing grant resources available through the San Mateo County Office of Education. I would also push to hire a grant writer for the district, to locate and apply for funds.
