Candidate for
Board Member; Campbell Union High School District

I have lived in San Jose all of my life. I graduated in the first graduating class of Rogers Middle School and went on to graduate from Blackford High School in 1967.

I finished one year at San Jose State where I majored in Math with a secondary in Elementary Education. Due to a family tragedy, I was not able to complete my goal of becoming a teacher.

In 1991, I graduated from West Valley College with an Associate of Arts Degree in Child Study. This degree enabled me to own and direct Kaleidoscope Preschool in Los Gatos for six years.

I have a son who is a senior at Branham High School. My decision to become involved at Branham lead to my decision to become further involved and thus my bid for one of the Board Member positions in the Campbell Union High School District.

I was the Vice-president of the Branham Home & School Club from 1999-2000 and the President from 2000-2002. During that time I worked very hard to create parent committees that would help support the students and staff at Branham. I'm very proud to say that the parents at Branham have been extremely involved and supportive.

I have also worked to create a means for the parents at Branham to stay informed of the activities occurring daily. This is accomplished through a daily email distribution of the Branham Bulletin and has been very successful.
