I’m on a mission to ensure all Menlo Park City School District students receive an extraordinary education – an education that allows them to delight and revel in their childhood, while preparing them to achieve their dreams.

I was first elected to the school board in 2020, at the tail end of the pandemic; and I currently serve as the board president. 

Over the past four years, our board and administration have been a very productive team! Together, we have

• Navigated a safe return to classrooms post-pandemic

• Transitioned from one excellent superintendent to another excellent superintendent

• Raised teacher and staff salaries so MPCSD can retain our excellent educators

• Assessed our facilities and made a plan to fund critical upgrades 

• Kept the community informed during successive storms and power outages

• Supported our educators as they explore and adopt the most current and effective learning materials

I am unique among the board members in that after every board meeting, I immediately write a newsletter reporting our meeting highlights, and distribute it to anyone who subscribes.

I aim to keep the lines of communication wide open. An informed community is an invested community, and that keeps our schools strong.
