My occupation is Non Profit Educator / Mother.

My qualifications are:

On my first day of school, I waited alone and scared at the bus stop. I didn’t speak English. I knew no one.

My transition to public school was difficult. Luckily, I had an amazing Kindergarten teacher who set me on course to be the first person in my family to graduate college.

I want the same encouragement for all San Francisco children - nobody should not have to rely on luck to get help.

We must prioritize early intervention, support teachers, fight for equity, restore fiscal accountability, and prepare students for lifelong success.

For over 7 years, I directed policy and advocacy efforts at Wu Yee Children’s Services where I worked to usher in reforms to help San Francisco’s children and families.

But most importantly, I am the single mother of a 3rd grader.

Every child deserves access to early intervention, excellent schools, and the opportunity to succeed. I will work to make this a reality.
