Candidate Statement in English

I’m a 24-year Malibu resident and parent of 2 adult kids who attended Malibu Public Schools from K-12th grade. I currently serve as a Board Member for SM-MUSD. 

I have worked throughout my career to bring people together, empower the agency of individuals, and improve and change established systems to better fit the people they serve. I did that as PTA president, Malibu Schools Leadership Council President, and have continued that work the last four years serving on the school board. 

Throughout that 13 years of service, there have been many times of instability - natural disasters including three major fires, disputes and tension between our two cities, contention within each community, leadership changes, the pandemic - that confused, angered, and frightened the community. I found my footing by listening and trying to effectively communicate the needs of people involved.  

I’ve participated in bringing connection and collaboration to our cities and to my work on the board. By engaging groups and people in our communities, listening to needs and perspectives, and addressing issues together, we can move forward even when we disagree. 

I hope to continue my work for the Malibu community, and SM-MUSD students, families and staff.
