My family and I are proud to call Cupertino our home. We've lived here over 23 years. Our daughter is a graduate of Cupertino's excellent public school system and lives in the Bay Area. I too am a product of local schools. I took business pre-requisite courses at De Anza College and received my MBA from San Jose State University.
I was elected to the Cupertino City Council in 2014. Subsequently I served as Vice Mayor in 2016 and then Mayor in 2017. Due to my years of work on transportation issues and my two years on VTA Policy Advisory Committee, I was also selected to the Board of the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) in 2016. I also serve on two Airplane Noise Relief Committees that includes FAA, SJC Airport, and Cities Association. I can assure you I work full time for the well being of Cupertino residents.
Even with my City Council duties I remain deeply involved in community activities. I am very accessible and enjoy hearing inputs from residents. I enjoy encouraging youth and participating in their events. When I was Mayor, I attended over 50 events involving each of Cupertino's diverse ethnic groups.
