I began my educational journey in 1984 at Painted Rock Elementary. After that, I went on to attend Twin Peaks Middle School, and I graduated from Poway High School in 1996. Each school I attended falls within what is now designated as Trustee Area B (North Poway, East Rancho Bernardo).
Following my time at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, I dedicated fifteen years to marketing, including a stint at my family's business in Rancho Bernardo. Additionally, I was a coach for girls' lacrosse at Poway High for three years.
When my husband and I decided to start our family, there was no question about where we would raise our children. All three of our kids have attended schools in Area B. In 2010, my oldest began kindergarten at Painted Rock—the same elementary school I attended, twenty-six years earlier. It has been a fulfilling journey, and as a school board candidate, I am committed to continuing to support our community.
Fifteen years as a PTA and Foundation board member, and volunteer across three campuses: Painted Rock Elementary(PRES), Twin Peaks Middle School(TPMS), and Poway High(PHS).
Active member of the PRES Foundation and PTA where I led the Yearbook committee, Class Shirts Fundraiser, and an event Photographer. Project manager for the complete overhaul of the Painted Rock library in 2019. As Foundation President at TPMS, I doubled our membership, led four parent socials with auctions, and two annual fundraising campaigns. I have shelved books at Twin Peaks, co-chaired five 6th grade olympics and proctored AP exams at Poway High. I am booster president of Boys Lacrosse at Poway and have helped with Volleyball and Football as well. Whenever I have been asked, I have stepped up.
In 2024, I was honored to be named Poway Unified School district Volunteer of the Year.

I have made giving back to these schools a full-time job, and I love it. Now that my kids have grown, I can give this role the attention it deserves.
Thus far, my time has been focused on my kids schools but as your trustee you can be assured I will consider all the schools in Poway Unified School District my home with the families of Area B in the forefront of my mind.
I will stay on top of what matters most to students, parents, and taxpayers.
