STUDENT FIRST

PARENTS HEARD

“I’m running for GGUSD Trustee Area 4 because I believe in serving our schools and community. Teachers deserve strong support, our parents deserve meaningful involvement, and our students deserve every opportunity to build a successful future. As a small business owner, La Quinta High School Parent Association President, and Naval Sea Cadet officer, I bring experience, perspective, and a commitment to serve.

“Our students are preparing for life. My goal is to help make sure they are ready for what comes next.”

“After more than 30 years of working with young people, I have learned that sometimes the most important thing we can give a student is someone who believes in them.”

“My vision is not simply to prepare students to pass a test or receive a diploma. It is to help them graduate with knowledge, confidence, discipline, character, and a sense of direction.”

“Some students will go to a four-year university. Others may choose a community college, trade school, military service, entrepreneurship, or another career pathway. There is no single definition of success.”

“College should not be the first time a young person starts thinking about what they want to do with their life.”
