Why I'm Running
I'm running for the South San Francisco Unified School District Board because our schools are the heart of our community, and I am committed to helping them thrive.
As my wife and I raise two children who attend our schools, I believe every student deserves a safe, supportive environment where they can succeed.
I bring more than 20 years of finance experience, including leadership at UCSF, and hold a Doctorate in Business Administration focused on Finance. I have extensive experience managing complex budgets, strengthening financial controls, and ensuring public resources are used responsibly and transparently.
I currently serve as Vice-Chair of the SSFUSD Measure T Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee, helping ensure voter-approved bond funds are spent as intended.
As Chair of the South San Francisco Housing Authority Board, I've worked with fellow commissioners and staff to provide responsible financial oversight and accountability.
My priorities are student success, supporting teachers, and keeping our district fiscally responsible.
I believe parents, teachers, and the community should have a meaningful voice in decisions that affect our schools.
Strong leadership starts with listening, working together, and keeping students first.
I humbly ask for your vote.
