I’m running for Solano County Board of Education to be of service and to make a broader positive impact on our young people, our schools and our community. I've worked for decades in Solano County to improve the lives of children, youth, parents and others in our community. I will do the same on the Board of Education and will help ensure that EVERY
child has full access to their education and is able to reach their highest potential.
I’m a pediatrician, mom, and community volunteer and have expertise and practical experience caring for tens of thousands of local kids, youth and families over 30+ years in Solano and Napa Counties.
As a pediatrician, I have professional training to solve big problems using evidence-based policy solutions.
I know what it means to stand up for our most vulnerable people and to prioritize well-being, health and safety.
Education has been my pathway to opportunity. I’ve found opportunity through my own education, and I’d like to
It wasn’t easy growing up, losing my father at a young age and witnessing the challenges my mother faced, raising me and my four brothers on her own. In high school I attended Vocational Technical school in commercial art. I then worked to put myself through college, and chose to pursue a career in medicine.
I have first-hand experience as a parent in advocating for appropriate educational services and in turn have been able to help numerous parents advocate effectively for their children.
My daughter attended Fairfield public schools and struggled due to her hearing disAbility. We worked closely with teachers, school administration and the County Office of Education. She ultimately graduated with honors from Armijo High School and is now a research scientist in San Diego.
Enriching the lives of our children and youth will improve our community and help create a thriving future for all.
I’d like to help ensure that every child has full access to their education and can reach their highest potential. I‘ll work to ensure our schools are places where all students can find opportunity, purpose and success, whether they’re college bound or learn a valuable trade.
I’m endorsed by the Napa Solano Central Labor Council and the State and Local Teacher’s Associations.
I'm also endorsed by parents, students, elected officials, community leaders and individuals. I ran for this office in 2020 during the pandemic and was only 3 votes short out of 36,000 ballots cast for this seat. I'm running again because I want better representation and believe, with my decades of expertise and practical experience, I'm the best person to be Trustee of our Board of Education Area 2.
