for Palomar College Board
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Throughout my career as a school counselor and psychologist at Escondido High School, I have dedicated myself to supporting students and fostering healthy learning environments. It has been a privilege to witness firsthand the profound impact of these efforts on student achievement, mental well-being, and family engagement.
I am excited to announce my candidacy for the Palomar Community College Board, representing Escondido and San Marcos. My goal is to leverage my extensive experience to benefit our community directly. I am committed to enhancing student outcomes, prioritizing mental health support, ensuring student affordability, and promoting a career-focused educational environment that prepares graduates for success in our local workforce.
Having worked with thousands of students, I have seen the transformative power of education and the importance of dedicated leadership in educational institutions. I am eager to bring this perspective to the Palomar Community College Board and work collaboratively to make meaningful improvements for our students and community.
I would appreciate your support and your vote in the upcoming election. Together, we can build a brighter future for our community through accessible, quality education that prepares students for lifelong success.
I hope to earn your vote.
