25. What are your principal areas of interest in our City government, and what experience or special knowledge can you bring to those areas?
My primary interest is to bring equity and accountability to our city government. I believe Chula Vista is an amazing city and one where education can prosper. I have worked in higher education administration and believe we can do more for our youth and adult learners across the city. Many do not know the programs available many local schools offer or that libraries have more than just books to offer. My position as Director at Wahupa Education Services allows me the benefit of establishing relationships with many government officials and local organizations to improve access to education and | believe I can be an asset in this role on the Board of Library of Trustees
26. What would you hope to accomplish in the role of a Member of the Board of Library Trustees? (250 words or less) I believe we can do more to get all the resources the library offers to the hands of the general public. Many in our community do not know there are after school programs, child care, cultural arts events, adult programs, literacy programs, any much more. Looking at ways to stabilize funding at local and state levels is key to the success of our libraries. Overall, I believe there are many ways we can promote our libraries to get community engagement and I would love the opportunity to do so. I am a strong advocate of education and now that we are almost post pandemic, it would be great to get our community back involved in our amazing programs.
27. I understand that to be considered, I must submit a resume along with this application.

How has your participation reflected the interests and concerns with the protection of the civil liberties of all people which make up the City's residents? I had the opportunity to serve as a Council Aide Ill for former Councilmember Jerry Rindone from December 2000 to November 2008 and as a Council Aide Ill for then Councilmember John McCann from January-November 2010. In those positions, I met with community members, business leaders, and civic leaders; communicated via phone calls, letters, and emails; and attended a variety of events as their representative.
From 2006 to 2021 I was keenly involved with the vision, implementation, and expansion of FIRST and VEX Robotics programs in the San Diego County and in the Sweetwater Union High School District. I was most fortunate to work alongside visionaries in the development and implementation of the robotics programs in San Diego County and in the Sweetwater Union High School District.

Witnessing the excitement, confidence, and spirit of camaraderie grow among students and community members engaged in a common cause is electrifying!

25. Please describe your interest in fostering better human relations in the City of Chula Vista.

(250 words or less) As a member of the Human Relations Committee, I would enjoy working alongside others to promote a spirit of community goodwill, a sense of belonging, and an increase in resident participation in our City's economy, social activities, and government.
3 What a wonderful experience it would be to continue to build a culture of creativity, trust, and open/respectful communication among residents, businesses, agencies, schools, and organizations within our community.
What marvelous community building experiences we could orchestrate by inviting, encouraging, and assisting community members to use their own creativity and skill sets in designing experiences to celebrate and give expression to the diversity, talents, and skills of our community members.
I would consider it a great honor to serve as a Human Relations Commissioner to rejoice in the goodness of our residents, to foster a spirit of goodwill, and to continue making Chula Vista a great place to live.
