This information is provided by the candidate

I am running for the San Francisco Board of Education, because I would like to make a positive difference in the lives of the students of San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). I hold the following degrees: AA, BA, MA and Ed.D. I have been professionally affiliated with the SFUSD for 30+ years and have dedicated over half of my life working on behalf of the students of San Francisco. I was employed by the SFUSD for over 20+ years; starting out as a teacher's assistant, then teacher, counselor, head counselor/dean, assistant principal and principal. I have taught grades K-12, and during my career, I have worked with regular students, bilingual education, special education, gifted, counseling, career planning and adult education. I have worked as a college instructor for various colleges. Currently, I am a part-time employee at SF State University working in the Secondary Education Credential Program. I also teach a course entitled "Teaching the Adolescent", and supervise several student teachers. Over the years I have worked with students, teachers, staff, parents, and community members from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I am also sensitive to the issues surrounding sexual orientation. While employed by the SFUSD, I was a strong union member. My goal is to assist in providing quality education for all students of San Francisco.
