Elk Grove raised my family.

Public service shaped my career.

Now I'm running to strengthen our schools.

  • I am a first-generation college graduate, a 30-year Elk Grove resident, and an EGUSD parent.

  • I helped launch CalKIDS - California's $2 billion children's savings program and spent time advising teachers at CalSTRS.

  • As External Affairs Officer for State Treasurer Fiona Ma, CPA, I build the partnerships that connect California's most vulnerable students to opportunity.

  • I am running for the EGUSD Board of Education because I know what it takes — and because our students deserve someone who has already done this work.

Why I’m Running

Elk Grove is a community that values its schools, and I believe we have a responsibility to protect and strengthen that foundation for the next generation.

But today, too many families are feeling the strain. Students need support to succeed in a changing world. Educators are being asked to do more than ever. And parents want to know their voices matter.

I believe our schools are strongest when we stay focused on what matters most. Supporting students. Strengthening classrooms. Working together as a community.

Because every student deserves not just an education, but a clear path forward.
