This information is provided by the candidate
Following is the Candidate Statement which will appear in the ballot pamphlet mailed to all voters.
Combining a business background with active involvement in our schools, I am excited about the opportunity to represent our community in responsibly educating every student. My diverse professional and academic experiences help me reach sound judgments based on not only theory but also practicality and common sense. As a parent volunteer and consistent attendee of board meetings, I understand SLCUSD's budgetary and governmental realities. Nevertheless, I remain committed to offering the best education possible for each child.

Appreciative of my California K-12 public school education, I am dedicated to a strong public education system. My husband and I, San Luis Obispo residents for the past fourteen years, have two children who attend SLCUSD schools.

A Cal Poly marketing/economics lecturer since 1996, honored three times for my teaching, I graduated cum laude in economics from Brandeis University (1982) and earned an M.B.A. in finance and marketing from USC (1990). I have worked as a preferred banker, business consultant, programming/fundraising coordinator, and executive recruiter.

My extensive volunteer activities include: classroom volunteer; school site council member and chairperson; PTA legislative chairperson; and since 2001, SLCUSD's Superintendent's Advisory Committee member, representing the community and providing guidance in addressing concerns currently facing our district.
