Grossmont Union High School District Area 5

WHY I AM RUNNING: It's About Students and Paying It Forward

As a former teacher, I've dedicated my service to ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed. Since joining the Grossmont Union High School District Board, I've helped transform aging campuses into modern, air-conditioned schools with outstanding classrooms, athletic facilities, and career education programs. Today, Grossmont has earned national recognition for academic excellence, innovation, and fiscal accountability.

But there's more work to do. I've championed a $3.9 million investment to strengthen athletics, expand extracurricular opportunities, and reduce student participation costs. My priorities include doubling career technical education and athletic participation, expanding internships and apprenticeships, strengthening campus safety, and preparing students and teachers for emerging technologies like AI.

With my background in education and business, I understand the importance of balancing student opportunity with responsible spending. I'm committed to fiscal transparency, student safety, academic excellence, and ensuring every student graduates prepared for the future.

For me, it's simple: Put students first, protect taxpayer dollars, and keep moving Grossmont forward.
