I am in my tenth year serving as the Executive Assistant to the Superintendent/President and the Governing Board of Trustees at a California Community College. With more than 30 years of experience in education, I have provided lead-level guidance and administrative support to college staff, faculty, managers, and administrators across public, charter, and private educational institutions.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to fostering collaborative, inclusive, and equitable educational environments. I am a strong advocate for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion both on campus and within my community. I also dedicate my time to volunteer efforts that promote dignity, equality, and human rights for LGBTQ+ individuals.

My professional experience, combined with my commitment to service and inclusion, reflects a career dedicated to supporting educational excellence, strengthening organizational effectiveness, and helping create communities where everyone is respected, valued, and empowered to succeed.

• Cabrillo College District Filing Officer / Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)

  • The Political Reform Act prohibits a public official from participating in governmental decisions in which he or she has a financial interest that may be materially affected. To help identify potential conflicts of interest, the law requires officials to file Statements of Economic Interests (Form 700). Agencies must ensure that their public officials (designated board and commission members, employees, and consultants) file the forms and disclose their interests on or before the statutory deadline. Filing officers must supply a Form 700 to those officials who have assuming, annual, and leaving office filing obligations, and notify filers who fail to file. In order to determine if an individual is required to file, agencies should carefully review the list of designated positions in their conflict of interest codes; update their conflict of interest codes to comply with existing law; and know the list of filers covered under Government Code section 87200. An enforcement referral must be made if a statement is not filed. The link below provides suggested timelines for notifications to individuals who must file an annual Form 700, as well as when to notify non-filers and to make enforcement referrals.
