As a member of the greater Duarte community for the last sixteen years, I possess both the passion and the perspective to lead our city's schools into the future. Having served on the Duarte Education Council, Duarte Unified School District Arts Task Force, the board of the Shakespeare Women's Club of Pasadena, the Duarte District PTA Council, the Valley View Academy of Technology and Creative Learning School Site Council, as well as serving on the PTA at both the Valley View Academy of Technology and Creative Learning and the Northview Intermediate School, I have a wealth of experience in a wide range of both civic and educational organizations. Additionally it has been my pleasure to serve as the Talent Show Director for the Valley View Academy of Technology and Creative Learning, as well as for the greater Duarte Unified School District, and their annual All Schools Talent Show. Currently, I am serving as a board member at the Duarte Educational Foundation and at the California School of the Arts. Finally, I am also a proud member of the Duarte Rotary Club.
