As a Board Member, I have actively contributed to the district's achievements. I have been an active volunteer in our schools. As an attorney and a member Legislative Committee of the San Mateo County School Boards' Assn., I understand the "big picture" - the role of our district in the larger scheme of California public education and have worked to influence our legislature on statewide policy issues that impact our district.
