For more than 35 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving our community as a teacher, coach, athletic director, and educational leader. Today, I serve as Nevada County’s Career Technical Education and Youth Leadership Development Project Coordinator, partnering with local school districts, Sierra College, businesses, nonprofits, and county agencies to expand internships, career pathways, and real-world learning opportunities for students. If elected, I will strengthen partnerships among schools, families, educators, students, and community organizations. I am committed to thoughtful leadership, responsible stewardship of public resources, and ensuring every student has opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. It would be an honor to serve the community that has given so much to my family and me.
