During my tenure as a trustee at MiraCosta, my focus has been consistent and straightforward: open, transparent, and responsible government. I am known for my hard work and dedication, in particular as an advocate for fiscal responsibility and accountability. As a business owner, I am critically aware of the fiscal impact made by the Board’s decisions on the taxpayer; I take my fiduciary duties as a steward of the public’s trust seriously.
MiraCosta has been in turmoil for the last two years, a turn of events which I will continue to work to change. I have taken strong positions on difficult issues, never afraid to vote my honest convictions after gathering and evaluating all available facts. I have been the constant voice on the Board to advocate for students, innovation, integrity and ethics.
I will continue to make myself accessible to my constituents and to meet with business and civic leaders to ensure the community’s interests are kept in the forefront, while interacting with the college community in the spirit of collegial consultation.
I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK HARD TO HELP RETURN MIRACOSTA TO ITS STELLAR POSITION AMONG CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND REGAIN ITS POSITION AS AN EDUCATIONAL LEADER.
