Why are you running for
"D" Best ARea Director?
I’m running for Area D Director to put Members First. As a CSEA leader at the Chapter, Region, and State levels, I’ve turned contract language into real protections and wins for Classified staff like us. I also serve as a Governing Board Member for Visalia USD, giving me hands-on experience with a $500 million budget, policy, and accountability; experience I use to put Members First. I also serve as Co-Chair of the TBUESD School Board Recall Committee.
My approach is simple: “I learn what I need to know to do what needs to be done.” I listen, act, and follow through. As Area D Director, I will improve communication by amplifying Chapter voices from all parts of Area D and advocating for more highly trained Labor Relations Representatives. I’ve consistently put the Membership First in my own decisions and will do the same across “D” Best Area.

A Classified Voice at VUSD
Here’s a glimpse of the work I do as a Governing Board Member who is also Classified staff.
During the March 10th, 2026 Visalia USD Board Meeting, I stood in solidarity against layoffs of Classified and Certificated staff.
I'm an Area D native who is passionate about Public Education.
During the Dec. 9th, 2025 Visalia USD Board Meeting, I brought Transparency to the public that Classified staff were being excluded from a fair wage study.
During the Dec. 9th, 2025 Visalia USD Board Meeting, I remind the public that in Education, people are our greatest asset.
