I have been active in the community for over fifty years and I have seen MPC grow and change and know how important it is to our community. That's why I am seeking re-election: to make sure MPC remains a high quality college that meets the changing needs of the Monterey area.
I have served on the MPC Foundation board for the past four years and worked to pass the 2020 Measure V bond that will support facility improvements across all three MPC campuses.
And I know first hand what MPC means because I have taken numerous classes at MPC.
I served on the Monterey City Council for twelve years. I know the stakeholders in our community and understand the important role the elected board plays in facilitating community engagement. While on the council, I spearheaded Monterey to be the first city on the Peninsula to ban Styrofoam. Other cities and the county followed.
I also pushed for a committee to be established on litter which would logically be added to the Regional Waste Management District. This was subsequently accomplished.
I was the Executive Director of the Lyceum for ten years, which directly connected me to education specializing in enrichment classes for students. While at the Lyceum, development funds were increased dramatically, enabling us to expand services for low-income students. The Lyceum initiated the mock trials with the help of Judge Stephen Sillman which since have blossomed locally and become a national phenomenon.
