Since January 2020, as a dedicated trustee of the San Marcos Unified School District, I have tirelessly advocated for the needs of our students, parents, and teachers, making sure their voices are heard and valued. Under my leadership, we successfully appointed Dr. Andy Johnsen as our superintendent, bringing much-needed stability to a position that had experienced frequent changes.
One of my top priorities has been our district's fiscal health. I’m proud that SMUSD's financial outlook has significantly improved since I took office. Moody’s has upgraded our rating outlook from negative to stable, reversing a troubling trend and removing us from the state’s watch list.
As a parent and board member, I remain steadfast in ensuring that our district’s finances are managed responsibly, minimizing the impact on our students and their resources.
Having been an active member of the San Marcos community for 17 years, with my own children thriving in SMUSD schools, I deeply understand the importance of a strong educational foundation. With one child on the brink of high school graduation, I am more committed than ever to ensuring every student reaches their full potential, preparing them for their future endeavors. The "Portrait of a Graduate" initiative, developed in collaboration with students, teachers, parents, and community members, reflects our shared vision for student success and remains a cornerstone of my efforts.
I am dedicated to fostering strong community engagement and transparent communication between our district and families. By advocating for a public information officer and maintaining open lines of communication, I strive to keep our community informed and involved. I believe in creating a culture of mutual respect and collaboration, setting an example for our students, and embracing new ideas and learning opportunities.
Serving as a board member is a role I take on not just for my children but for all 19,500+ students in our district. My goal is to ensure that every child has access to excellent teachers, resources, and opportunities. While perfection is a continual pursuit, I am committed to ongoing improvement. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with this dedicated team to achieve the best outcomes for all our students.
I humbly ask for your support in my reelection so that we can continue to build a brighter future for our children together.
