Why Am I Running

Why I Am Running

As the Rancho Santa Fe School District approaches its 100th anniversary in 2027, we’re entering our next century from a position of strength and tremendous momentum.

Serving as your School Board Trustee has been one of the greatest honors of my life and I am grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me. This District is a cornerstone of the communities that we serve and deserves our full attention as we preserve what makes our District special. I will continue listening to all voices, providing steady, responsible leadership, and always putting our students first.

I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished as a Board.

Working together with our administration, we’ve maintained a balanced budget every year since 2019 while investing in “thinking classrooms”, facilities, curriculum, and technology.
We recently refinanced our bonds from the 2008 school rebuilding, which has lowered our community’s property taxes by $1.2M over the next few years.
Our strong administrative team is entering its third year, providing stability to the District.
This year, US News & World Report ranked our middle school #1 in San Diego County, and California recognized our District as a Distinguished School.

As we enter our second century, I respectfully ask for your vote so we can continue building on our momentum and ensure the Rancho Santa Fe School District remains the best place for our children to thrive!
