Mountain View Whisman School Board

I am an involved parent who is invested in the success of our district. 

I want to serve on a board that upholds the values of the people it represents. 

As a teacher of 20+ years, I’ve guided learners on their journeys to be global citizens. For success today, students need strong academic skills, but they also require support in developing the areas of emotional intelligence, social justice, environmental activism, and community involvement.  

As an educational insider, I have an extensive understanding of student, teacher, and school site needs. Decades worth of time developing project-based learning experiences and creating successful programs has shown me that students thrive in environments that are warm and welcoming and that teachers have a greater capacity to be innovative and create safe learning spaces when their needs are being met. 

As an immigrant from the Philippines, I know the challenges of being an English language learner, and I want to assist the students who often fall through the cracks, making sure that each and every child has the opportunity to succeed. 

With your vote, I will foster a positive relationship between our district and the city, provide fiscal accountability, advocate for restorative policies, increase transparency via timely communication, and support innovative educational practices that lift up every one of our students. 

My passion for our diverse community runs deep. I am qualified and ready to serve.
