- I was a member of the first class in the brand-spankin'-new Cerritos Elementary School, the first school to have no walls dividing the classrooms.

Priorities:
- My campaign is not about building with blocks with the rest of the kids; it's about painting a new bold picture for ALL children of ABCUSD!
- I do not want my school board to not follow the leader, but become leaders, innovators, champions for causes. Its also about telling the truth.
