Candidate for
Member of the State Assembly; District 20

My education and qualifications are: I currently serve as an elected member of the Hayward Unified School District Board of Trustees. This district, which comprises an area much larger than the city of Hayward, presents distinctive challenges in its cultural, academic diversity, and financials.

My earlier background as a real-estate lease analyst for major multi-national corporations gives me the ability to evaluate the bottom line which is rare in education budgeting, and in most government work. I have presented useful approaches on cost cutting to put more taxpayer dollars into classroom teaching and less into sweetheart contracts. Prior to serving in elective office, I was also a classroom teacher, holding a BS in Computer Science, a Multi-Subject Teaching Credential, and a MS in Educational Leadership. I am proud to have introduced computer technology to my third-grade Hayward students and raised their test scores 30%.

Driven to better serve my community, I was motivated to acquire a Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership in 2012 from the University of San Francisco. My doctoral research evaluated the dollarization of the currency in Ecuador and highlights the importance of the economic literacy we all need. Continuing to expand on my educational knowledge and experience, I am a visiting professor for local universities in the San Francisco Bay Area for business studies in undergraduate and graduate level courses. On the Board of the Regional Occupational Program, I also promote both academic and career opportunities.

Born in Mexico, I became a U.S. citizen at the age of twelve, when I entered public school in California. Bilingual in Spanish and English, I want to give every California K-12 student mastery of the English language to prepare them for future employment. In the Assembly, I pledge to help education rebuild prosperity, to reduce government waste, keep taxes low, and to listen to you. Please vote for me. Thank you
