Candidate Statement
I'm running for PAUSD School Board, because I care deeply about providing a choice and voice for those who feel underrepresented, as well as a high-quality education for all PAUSD students.
With four children in PAUSD (10th Grade at Middle College, 7th Grade at JLS, 4th & 1st Grade at Ohlone), and having served as JLS Connections Board President and Ohlone PTA President, I have both deep knowledge about the complexities and passion for the potential within PAUSD.
I also have both the academic and professional experience to understand the challenges in PAUSD and to make an impact. I have a BA in English Literature, MA in English Literature, MBA in Corporate Finance, Postgraduate Diploma in Law, Legal Practice Course, MSc in International Management For China, and PhD in Anthropology & Culture (incomplete). Additionally, I have worked in the fields of business, economics, law, and management consulting for top corporations such as Accenture, PricewaterhouseCoopers, McKinsey & Company, as well as the World Bank.
