My Philosophy: A Three Pillar Ecosystem
With the right priorities, I believe we can guarantee a continuing high quality system of education that provides holistic growth for students by continuing to create a safe space for mental and emotional growth alongside the academic excellence our district is known for.
I will establish this through leading with TRUST built through transparent and data-driven communication that fosters a collaborative effort of home and educators, and creates an environment for each to listen with genuine empathy that drives action.
All entities operate effectively and efficiently when each stakeholder trusts each other and does their part. These groups are the 3 pillars to my ecosystem-based philosophy:
GUARDIANS
Transparent Communication, Active role in designing school programs
EDUCATORS
Professional Development , Access to Tools and technologies
STUDENTS
Safe environment to explore their potential and grow holistically
I believe education has the power to transform lives. As a trustee, I aim to provide a holistic approach to education, emphasizing mental and emotional well-being alongside continued academic excellence.
I am committed to fostering an inclusive environment where schools and families collaborate to help each child reach their full potential by increasing access to relevant resources and opportunities for students, educators, and families.
As a mother of CUSD/FUHSD graduates, and resident of Cupertino, West San Jose, Saratoga over 2 decades, I have seen firsthand the profound impact of the education system on my family. With 28 years of experience in technology and community service, including leadership roles in initiatives like TFIN, “Project Cornerstone”, “Destination Imagination”, and “Lynbrook Excellence in Education”, I bring a blend of practical problem-solving and community-focused insights to this role. I will apply my skills as a business leader to drive sustainable growth for the district, with the ultimate goal of keeping our schools open, growing, and thriving.
I am honored to have earned endorsements from parents, community members, and elected officials.
I humbly ask for your vote and commit to ensuring the most fulfilling experience for each CUSD student and family.
