Please tell us how your qualifications and participation will relate to the requested board and/or commission's mission.
I have been working in the ECE field over 7 years. I started out working with parents to fight for their child care subsidies and enforce their due process rights. I spent most of my career at the Child Care Law Center working with family child care providers, who are mostly women of color, advocate for their child care programs at the local and state level. I have expertise in child care law and policy, specifically related to child care subsidies and family child care homes. I have worked on many family child care issues such as land use, zoning, tenants, licensing, and fire requirements. I have fought for family child care providers' rights and changed local laws in over 12 cities/counties, removing unlawful policies/practices and creating more family-/provider-friendly policies/practices. In 2019, I co-led a campaign to pass SB 234 which removed all local control from family child care homes (among other things). I have a passion for supporting both families and child care providers, ensuring that CA's early childhood education (ECE) system works for all those involved (including children), which also means dismantling racist and discriminatory policies. In public policy graduate school, I consulted for Oakland Starting Smart and Strong where I supported the San Antonio Family Resource Center Parent Action Research Team advocacy efforts by creating data profiles for their neighborhoods, including both qualitative data directly from parents as well as quantitative data from local and state databases. Now at Social Policy Research Associates, I continue to support the ECE field through learning and evaluation projects. Of my 10 projects, 9 are focused on ECE and families. My clients include/have included Oakland Fund for Children and Youth, First 5 Alameda County, Heising-Simons Foundation, Parent Voices California, and the Low Income Investment Fund. For one of my projects, my colleague and I facilitated focus groups and interviews with other 48 respondents and systematically reviewed 20 documents to develop a workforce development landscape scan for Alameda County. As the evaluation partner for OFCY, I managed our qualitative data collection in 2022 and conducted focus groups with grantee organization staff, as well as parents and ECE teachers. Some of my current project topics are ECE field building, ECE facilities, parent leadership and development, community organizing (parents and providers), ECE workforce development, and children and youth mental health. And as Board Chair of BANANAS, I continue to stay informed about the needs of Oakland children, families, and providers. I also have experience running a Board. I believe that my expertise, past experiences, and current work will help me be a contributing member to the City of Oakland Head Start Advisory Group as I am aware of many different components that makeup our ECE system in Oakland, Alameda County, and the State. As the City of Oakland Head Start branches out to Oakland's family child care homes, I hope that I can support these efforts and ask questions that can help this initiative be successful.
