Candidate for
Board Member; New Haven Unified School District

am running because I care deeply about our community. The Dalai Lama once said, " Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if we can't help them, at least don't hurt them"

This quote has been a driving force as to why I continue my work with the community. I am deeply connected with the young people in our district and the community at large.

I stand with our students, teachers, district staff and our community.

I believe that students deserve adequate resources to help them in their education. I believe in providing programs and services that will take care of our students and their needs. As a student, I want to help provide insight to innovative ways to engage students in their education and to the community.

As a student, teachers are the driving force that helps us to succeed. As a former JLHS student, my teachers invested in my education and provided me with support. They gave me that little push that many students need. I believe that it's our duty to create a environment that teachers can utilize their strengths to help our young people. What does this mean? I am an advocate for small class sizes, providing resources and materials that are needed, and supporting our teachers.

I will bring new ideas, new energy, a new face, and a new commitment to this community. I want to create a bridge between our district and our community so that we can support one another. Times are tough, but if we can come together to work on a solution to solve our problems, we can create the change we want to see together.

With my experience working with the community and support, I believe I can truly represent us all! When the community calls for immediate need, I act fast. I am dedicated to work for the community and its residents. I am ready for the challenges that lie ahead and I am willing to sit down and talk with you all about how we can create change together. I will fight to make sure that the community voice is heard!

Just like a regular school project, its better to work in a group. It just makes things a lot easier.
