Welcome, I'm glad you're here! I am running for re-election to Culver City Unified School District Board of Education in November 2026. My priority is to create an environment that delivers California’s promise of a high quality education to Culver City. Success for all and college and career readiness is dependent on a culture of care and fully funding public education.
Culver City Unified is a desirable school district in the “Heart of Screenland,” known for the 4As: Academics, Athletics, Arts, and Activities. Our active community is unique in its passionate engagement, diversity of culture and people, and widely shared values that support our youth. Our students, staff, and schools are recognized nationally, statewide, and locally for their effort, leadership, and talent. Culver’s vibrancy is what brings so many of us to work, play, study, and live here. I have a calling to partner in service to both preserve and advance the qualities that make Culver City so special and unique.
I'm proud of the work we accomplished in four years. We've made progress and now we need to transform it into lasting sustainable impact in my second term. Experienced leadership is of great importance to the operations of our schools. Representation from under-represented and under-resourced communities also provides valuable discourse through lived experience.
My focus remains on sustaining fiscally sound operations, including enhancing the public’s trust for successful passage of a parcel tax, enabling the district to improve towards strategic educational goals. I am the only board member with deep fiscal management career experience, responsible for creative placement and stewardship of $300M+ in annual media investment. Since I entered public office, district leadership has increased transparency and accountability resulting in the passage of two successful ballot measures, and a deepened city partnership that will have lasting scholar outcomes:
▻ March 2024 $358M general obligation bond to improve, modernize, and build FutureReady facilities
▻ November 2024 $2.4M/year parcel tax renewal for eight years that retains teachers and facilitates smaller class sizes
▻ Fall 2025 $2.5M grant from Culver City Government
We make Culver City thrive together through Achievement, Belonging, and Community. I'm grateful to be working towards a vibrant Los Angeles County alongside so many talented and caring individuals who uplift each other as we climb. Thank you for your interest and I'm looking forward to connecting with you more this year.
