I was born and raised in San Luis, Arizona to migrant field workers. I began working in social services and education 20+ years. I dedicated ten years to the Merced County (CA) Office of Education, 13 years to Child Care Resources and currently am employed by Puget Sound Educational Service District.

The vision I have long held is that the Highline School District should be working towards creating a world-class education system, providing students with the tools needed to succeed in the 21st century.

My priorities on the Highline School Board include: Academic success for all children regardless of their ethnic and social background. Promoting pathways to improve the transition between early childhood, education and the school system, Supporting the College and Career Readiness efforts for All our children, while being inclusive of their families, Collaborative partnerships between school staff and parents that demonstrate inclusiveness and builds leadership within the academic institution.

I believe it is important to serve and regenerate our community.
