I have a BA in Political Science from Bryn Mawr and an MBA from UC Berkeley Haas which I think will be useful to the Board. I attended Davis Senior High School in California.

I’ve lived in Mountain View for 20 years serving in many leadership roles including:

• Stevenson School Site Council and PTA. 
• MVWSD asked me to be on every committee at one point including Bond Measure, School boundaries, and Facilities committee to renovate schools and build 2 new schools. We found a way to add two special education classes at no cost to the district.
• League of Women Voters Education Committee 
• Member of SELPA1-CAC, the official advisory group between parents and Special Education Adminstrators for Mountain View, Los Altos and Palo Alto. I advocated for more inclusion of Special Education students in regular education and more collaboration between school districts. SELPA stands for Special Education Local Plan Area and CAC stands for Community Advisory Group. 1 represents the school districts: Los Altos, Mountain View-Whisman, Mountain View Los Altos High, and Palo Alto Unified.
• Board of the League of Women Voters Los Altos Mountain View, helping to modernize our systems.
• Co-founded Great Streets Mountain View to improve the safety of our streets for all residents, such as adding blinking crosswalks over Shoreline Blvd. Now merged with a sister organization, and called Mountain View Streets for All 
• Served on Mountain View Parks & Recreation Commission – Created Shoreline Fields, many parks with natural elements, and added a playground to McKelvey Ball Park
• Vice-Chair of the City of Mountain View Environmental Sustainability Task Force – Created policy recommendations to combat climate change. My policy to make all new buildings electric became City policy.
• Board member of Carbon Free Mountain View – We advocate for the policies that the Environmental Sustainability Committee proposed to City Council
• Long-time member of Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto’s (UUCPA) Green Sanctuary – Our goals are to have our church become carbon net zero by 2030, educate congregants on ways they can become more sustainable, and write letters to local, state, and federal elected officials and commissioners on environmental issues. Green Sanctuary is an accreditation of the Unitarian Universalist Association. We’re also a member of Interfaith Power and Light, an interfaith organization to combat climate change.
• Current member of UUCPA’s Campus Task Force – Leading congregation in reimaging campus for possible capital campaign. My area of specialities are accessibility and sustainability.
• Former Board member of Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto – Created Technology Committee and (online) Communications Committee. Dealt with closed session personnel and congregrant actions.
• Volunteer for Reading Partners at Castro School, a Title 1 school. Working with my service dog, I taught reluctant readers, all of whom were low-income
• Worked as a Director in tech. Built five teams that all worked together and reported high job satisfaction that created tools to monitor what was then cutting-edge broadband.
• Earned my MBA from UC Berkeley Haas while working full-time
