What Makes Heather Reyes Qualified to be a Trustee

By Heather Reyes

As a parent of two students attending Hayward schools, Heather Reyes knows the difference between a high-performing school and a low-performing school.

In 1988 I began work in the legal field and have worked at the same law firm since 1993 (with a small break of 4 years). As a Legal Administrator, I wear many hats reconciling financial documents, working closely with attorneys and clients to ensure smooth billing requirements. Also, I work closely with the office manager maintaining and streamlining the roles of employees.

My break of 4 years from the legal profession was to be a small business owner. I educated families and businesses regarding debt management, insurances and investment planning. During this time I was an active member in the Hayward South Rotary Club where I participated in activities such as delivering dictionaries to 3rd grade classrooms within HUSD.

Most importantly, my husband and I are parents of two students in the HUSD. Being a working mom has increased and honed my skills in multi-tasking, mediating, budgeting, nursing, coaching, teaching, cooking and cleaning!
