Other facts

I have been a dedicated New Haven volunteer for the past decade, serving on the Cesar Chavez and James Logan school site councils, the New Haven Boosters Association, and the New Haven Schools Foundation. As a community leader, I have been instrumental in continuing co-curricular programs that are critical to the comprehensive education of our children. Most recently, I was appointed to fill the open school board seat by a unanimous decision of the school board. I have had valuable ‘on-the-job’ training this past year, preparing me well for a full term.
