I'm Napa bred and proud of it! My family moved here in 1972. I attended Mt.George Elementary school, Silverado Junior High, and Napa High School. I learned valuable lessons from caring teachers about how to be an engaged citizen. I remember what it was like to be a student and a teenager in Napa.
I have 15 years of experience as a volunteer in the NVUSD. Whatever needed doing, I could get it done. Anything from a school fundraiser, lending my voice to disctict level committees or starting a parent club, was with my scope of work. I've learned a few things along the way, and I'm looking forward to using my historical knowledge of schools in Napa combined with the organizational knowledge I'm gaining in grad school to serve the community of Napa.
Education is about more than the 3 Rs. Children today need to learn 21st century skills these include communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and I'll add...compassion. Our children's workplaces will look very different from the ones we know today. They need to be ready for whatever that becomes.
Please help me support our kids and community by voting for me on November 8th!
