Key Priorities
Community Partnerships & Economic Opportunity
I have never built anything alone. Every business I've launched, every program I've created, every opportunity I've opened up — it's all been built on relationships. With community members, local businesses, civic organizations, and families. That's not just my style. It's my strategy. And it's exactly what ESUHSD needs more of.
My Civic Role
I serve on the San Jose Office of Economic Development's Small Business Advisory Committee, where I work to connect local businesses with resources and opportunities.
I am a member of the American Leadership Forum Silicon Valley, a network of civic leaders committed to collaborative problem-solving.
I have spent years building bridges between the business community and the neighborhoods that need economic investment most. I know how to bring people to the table and how to keep them there.
The Opportunity
East San Jose is home to one of the most vibrant, diverse, and entrepreneurial communities in California. That community is an asset the district has barely begun to tap.
Local businesses want to invest in the next generation
Parents want to be involved but often don't know how
Community organizations are doing incredible work that schools could be amplifying
The connections are there — they just need someone on the board who knows how to make them.
My Proposals
1. IEP Advocacy and Family Support
2. Autism Support Programs
3. Transition-to-Adulthood Planning
4. Inclusive Classrooms
East San Jose doesn't need to look outside itself for the resources to build a great school district. The talent, the passion, and the commitment are already here. I will make sure the district is showing up as a real partner to the community that has always shown up for it.
