As a school board member, I would empower students to reimagine their education system and equip them with the skills to thrive in an ever-evolving world. As a product of Northshore and an immigrant myself with children attending school in the district, I understand the transformative power of quality education. My deep connection to this community drives my commitment to ensuring every student has the opportunities they deserve.

In my role as a Washington Human Rights Commissioner, I support labor rights and anti-discrimination policies. This gives me experience navigating the complexities of Olympia to champion public school funding where it matters most.

As a school board member, I will be a strong advocate for students, families, and educators. I will actively listen to our educators and create forums for discussion. I believe in transparent and inclusive decision-making that prioritizes the needs of our community. Together, we can ensure our schools are a place where students can dream big and achieve their goals. I humbly ask for your vote.

As a Spanish-speaking immigrant NSD parent and 10+ years volunteer with a Doctorate degree, I know the impact education can have on people’s lives. I believe that all students deserve the best education possible so they achieve their fullest potential in a safe and financially sound system. Our future depends on their present!

Schools should provide all students with healthy, suitable challenges for all learning levels, to create resilience, develop love for learning, and promote growth.  We must prepare them for a competitive world through appropriate academic excellence and consistent opportunities. I believe in critical thinking, fact-based education, and open respectful debate on controversial topics to foster problem-solving and independent thinking.  

Safety has to be our top priority. Amidst concerns with mental health, crime, bullying and drugs, we must restore physical and mental safety for our students and staff. We must adopt evidence-based solutions to keep our kids safe so they focus on learning to better their lives. 

The current budget deficit calls for tough decisions and disciplined prioritization. Fiscal responsibility and long-term stability should be our guiding principles. Please enable me to put my passion, energy and skills to serve you by trusting me with your vote!
