MAIN PRIORITIES
SUPPORTING
STUDENTS
-
Working to secure funding for comprehensive wrap-around services to support students and their needs, in both a local and statewide capacity.
STUDENT REPRESENTATION
-
Amplifying student voices by giving them a seat at the table; I developed and passed a policy to create a dedicated student position on the Board of Directors, affirming students’ involvement in the important decisions made surrounding their education.
EDUCATION
FOR ALL
-
Access to fair and affordable education should not be determined by immigration status, economic standing, work schedule or life-circumstances. I am dedicated to ensuring all students have the support and opportunities necessary to achieve their educational, career and life goals.
CLEAR PATHWAY
TO CAREERS
-
Collaborating with local industries in our community to train, mentor, and guide students towards both their educational and vocational ambitions, leading to family-wage jobs that suit Lane County’s workforce needs.
