Please state reasons why you want to become a member of this Commission, including what specific objectives you would be working toward as a member of this advisory board:
To Truly improve lives of those as our Mother (especially while 70 - 80+) years who had many needs the community could offer, in much improved ways! I thought of opening a business to help certain ways! Some lack in Planning as well, to include more taking into account for the senior d aging population. Those who helped paved the way for more current developments ar technology!
And behind opportunities for life enrichment, far more than at the Senior Center!:) so many related areas! :))
Encouragement for Planning, building for such needs of Aging population..
Social & for exercise beyond the Senior Center ~ as some establishment for Seniors most in mind!
This way short of Adult Protective Services! Some may fear to call.. Need an "in-between!" Could save lives, as I know!..

Reasons
Please state reasons why you want to become a member of this Commission, including what specific objectives you would be working toward as a member of this advisory board:
I am interested in serving on the Senior Advisory Commission to help ensure that all older adults n Santa Clara feel welcomed, valued, and connected regardless of how long they have called ou ity home. Santa Clara's strength is its diversity, and our senior community reflects a rich range o cultures, experiences, and perspectives that deserve to be honored and included.
As a member of the Commission, I would approach each issue with an open mind and a commitment to listening thoughtfully to the needs of our senior residents. I would contribute my experience in collaborative leadership to support initiatives that foster a vibrant, active, and inclusive senior community.
Additional Information
Any other information which you feel would be useful to the City Council in reviewing your application:
I have been a lifelong member of the Santa Clara community and have enjoyed volunteering for the Fourth of July celebration, Art & Wine Festival and Great America Fun Runs and many other events throughout the years. My connection to the City began at a young age (I remember attending the expansion of the Senior Center in the 1970s with my mother) and continues today as utilize and appreciate our Parks and Recreation services, from participating in Tiny Timbers as a child to swimming at the Natatorium as an adult. I truly love my hometown.
In addition to my personal connection to Santa Clara, I bring meaningful experience in civic engagement and organizational leadership. I have supported the Santa Clara Unified School District through involvement in school board meetings, served as an Executive Board Member for the California School Employees Association (Chapter 350), and currently serve as the Executive Assistant to the Principal at Bellarmine College Preparatory. These roles have strengthened my ability to collaborate, listen thoughtfully, and contribute to effective decision-making processes.
I also bring the perspective of being part of the "sandwich generation." I care for my elderly father, and my husband and I are caregivers for his mother, who lives in our home. Through these experiences. I understand firsthand the joys, challenges, and complexities that older adults and their families navigate. This has deepened my awareness of the importance of accessible services, meaningful programming, and strong community support systems for seniors.
Service has been a consistent thread throughout my life, and would be honored to bring that commitment and lived experience to the Senior Advisory Commission in support of our community's older adults.
