My major in Social Sciences included the studies of Economics, Political Science, Government, Anthropology, Social Psychology, International Relations, and their interconnective functions.

My educational background provides expertise in the behind the scenes functionings of government at all levels. I know and understand how government works at every level.

Since my first election as Secretary to Huntington Beach Junior HS ASB, it has been a life-long dream of mine to serve my fellow community members in government. As a leader with experience, I will lead in ways that will make a positive difference in our city.

I pledge to serve Huntington Beach with the dedication and commitment I have demonstrated in a lifetime of service.

With Great Commitment, Diane
