Education has always been the cornerstone of my life. I am a proud product of the south bay public education system and daughter is currently enrolled in Santa Clara Public School system. My strong roots in local education have enabled me to become successful in my personal and professional life. In order to maintain a local standard of excellence, I am running for Santa Clara Unified School Board.
In order to help the district reach its full potential, I have worked many social outreach programs in the area including Santa Clara Schools foundation, Music Rivals, Nutrition Committee, and Bracher PTA association. My work has enabled countless children to improve their quality of live while enabling them to succeed in the classroom.
While I have great respect for the work of the Santa Clara Unified School board, I believe there are several unaddressed areas for improvement. First of all, I firmly believe the board needs to better utilize the plethora of technical knowledge found in Silicon Valley. In addition, I am a strong advocate for a drastic enhancement to the education fundamentals, including the arts, that enable our students for success.
In order to accomplish the district's goals, I will work tirelessly with our district and drive involvement from our community. My involvement in grass-roots organization coupled with my work in education provide me the background knowledge to implement change.
The district has always had a high standard of academic excellence. With my vision on the board, I believe we can continue to raise the bar academically and provide our children with an even brighter future.
My experience and close ties to the foundation of this district make me an ideal candidate for the Santa Clara Unified School Board. My relentless passion for creating a better school system for fourteen-thousand students, including my daughter, will become a strong asset for this district.
