Saddleback Valley Unified School District – Trustee Area 5

Strong Schools. Engaged Families. Bright Futures.

I believe strong public schools change lives.

They prepare students for the future, strengthen our community, and are made possible by outstanding teachers, engaged families, and students who are supported to reach their full potential.

After serving Saddleback Valley USD for more than 16 years as a parent volunteer and community leader, I’m running for the Board of Education to build on our district’s strong foundation through thoughtful leadership, meaningful collaboration, and a steadfast commitment to student success.

My Connection to Saddleback Valley

I grew up attending Saddleback Valley schools, and my husband and I chose to raise our children here. For more than 16 years, I have worked alongside teachers, administrators, staff, families, and students to support student success.

As the parent of a son who received special education services from preschool through graduation, I experienced firsthand the power of dedicated educators, high expectations, and meaningful collaboration between schools and families. His journey inspired me to become an advocate – not only for our child, but for students and families throughout our district.
