Our teachers are the cornerstone of our educational system, and their professional growth directly impacts student achievement. I propose comprehensive initiatives for continuous teacher development, including access to advanced training, mentorship programs, and competitive salaries. By investing in our educators, we not only improve the quality of instruction but also attract and retain top talent, ensuring that our students benefit from the best possible learning experiences.
Greater Support for Our Teachers
The Future: Technology or Vocational Training
In today’s rapidly evolving world, equipping our students with the right technology and/ or access to vocational and trade programs is crucial for their future success. I am committed to modernizing our schools with cutting-edge digital resources, ensuring every student has the tools they need to excel. Also, I will advocate for enhanced trades programs, offering students practical pathways to rewarding careers. By embracing both technology and vocational training, we can create dynamic learning environments that inspire innovation, critical thinking, and real-world skills.
As a candidate for the school board, I am committed to ensuring that every student, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to a high-quality education. I will advocate for policies that address disparities in resources, opportunities, and support services, focusing on underrepresented and disadvantaged communities. By fostering an inclusive environment where every student can thrive, we can build a more equitable and just educational system that prepares all of our children for future success.
All Students' Success

As a dedicated advocate for our community, my vision for Sacramento City Unified School District Area 3 focuses on student achievement, teacher empowerment, and family engagement to create a thriving educational ecosystem that prepares our children for future opportunities. I believe in a holistic approach to education, ensuring every student receives the academic, social, and emotional support they need.
At the core of my vision is student success. I am committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all children, regardless of background, have access to high-quality education and resources. This includes implementing comprehensive mental health support, expanding extracurricular activities, and ensuring equitable access to advanced coursework and technology. By nurturing a culture of excellence and inclusivity, we can inspire lifelong learning and help students reach their full potential.
Our teachers are the cornerstone of our educational system. My vision includes advocating for competitive salaries, comprehensive professional development, and resources that empower teachers to innovate in their classrooms. Investing in our educators enhances education quality and fosters a community that values and respects their contributions.
Family engagement is crucial for student success. I will work to strengthen communication between schools and families, creating opportunities for meaningful involvement in decision-making processes. Strong partnerships with parents and guardians ensure that every child receives the support and encouragement they need at both school and home.
Preparing our students for future careers requires a forward-thinking approach. I will champion STEM education, vocational training, and real-world learning experiences. Aligning our curriculum with modern workforce demands will equip our students with the skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Together, we can build a brighter future for the Sacramento City Unified School District. Join me in creating an educational environment that meets today's needs while anticipating tomorrow's challenges and opportunities.
