  • As a parent like you with background in civil engineering, civil engineers start building with a firm foundation. I understand the importance of education, as foundation of our children's future. I'll make it top priority that the District's funding is used for student resources. I will make sure every child in our district get the resources they need to eventually become productive adults who will give back to society.

  • As a homeowner like you, I'll make sure the Westminster School District ratings are high, so property values are increased.

  • As a public servant myself, I'd like to create and maintain good relationships between teachers, parents, and the communities. We have to work together to protect our children and guide them to the right direction.

  • As a parent with English is the second language, I'd like to remove the language barrier between parents and school. I and my volunteers will help you set up your own email account, communicate with school in your own language via emails unless it's urgent. Then, I'd make sure your inquiries about your child(ren) will be responded in your own language within 48-hour.

  • As a parent having a special child, I'll review the Special Education program and make sure appropriate services are adequately provided to children with special needs by law.

  • As an engineer, I'm very detailed oriented, and I will study deeper into every facet of our district's operations. There is much room for improvements in the district, and I will fight hard and long to improve teaching standards and student test scores, increase financial accountability, and expand parent involvement.
