Building The Future Together
I am a Mom and a Marine with a law degree on a lifelong mission to bring communities together and fight for education, families and social justice.
Over the past several years, I have worked with LAW Project of Los Angeles advocating for system-involved youth and families; served as the secretary for AE Wright Middle School’s Parent Faculty Club; served on the LVUSD Curriculum Council; worked on the committee for the Measure V Bond effort; graduated from Emerge California, a national candidate training program; and created an
Anti-Racism Task Force at Valley Outreach Synagogue.
I believe in our community and our children and want to serve on the LVUSD school board to help ensure equality and opportunity for all.
There are three major areas I plan to focus on when elected.
- Relearning Education
- Community Inclusion
- Fiscal Responsibility

RELEARNING EDUCATION:
These are unprecedented times that require unprecedented teaching methods. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are no longer in the classroom – so we need to think outside of that box. As a board member, I will work with our teachers, staff and parents to ensure our students get the connection to community, academic support, and mental health support needed to flourish during these difficult times.

COMMUNITY INCLUSION:
Like most large institutions, the LVUSD has a lot of work to do in the areas of equity, diversity and inclusion. The undervaluing of segments of our population due to racism, sexism, classism, xenophobia, ability, and religious practices has a direct impact on our children and how they feel about themselves. We also know that how children feel about themselves can manifest in their ability to perform in an academic setting. Our teachers, administration, and staff should receive regular training in cultural competency and other forms of systemic bias. We need to ensure our curriculum doesn’t focus only on the history/perspective of the majority, but also on the history/perspective of marginalized groups throughout the entire year. Learn more...

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY:
The whole country is facing a budget crisis and our district is no different. Due to COVID-19, our state and local governments will not take in the amount of revenue a typical year would usually provide. As a result, state funds, as well as city grants and services that we receive for LVUSD students will dramatically diminish. I will work with my school board partners and our community to reexamine the budget in light of the current challenges we are facing to ensure we make the most of every penny. Learn more...
