Education & Qualifications:

As trustee of the Burlingame Elementary School District for the past four
years, it has been my privilege to be part of a community that cares about high
standards and quality education. During my term, I have participated in the
policy decision-making process that saw: the adoption of district-wide
standards and assessment in math and language arts, implementation of
class-size reduction, and upgrading of our school facilities. I am proud of
these as well as many other accomplishments of our district. I seek another
term in order to continue to advocate for high standards and quality education
for our children.

In addition to being a trustee, I have served on the board of the San Mateo
County School Boards Association as corresponding secretary (1996-98), Kent
Awards Volunteer Chair (1994-96), Kent Awards Co-Chair (1996-97) and on the
District Advisory Council, the City Liaison Committee and Burlingame Together.

I have two daughters, both graduates of Burlingame schools. One is a freshman
at UC San Diego and the other a freshman at Burlingame High. I graduated from
Brandeis University, B.A., magna cum laude and hold an M.A. in TESL from San
Francisco State. I am currently editor of San Francisco Peninsula Parent
Magazine.
