I have been serving the community for over 20 years in the sports medicine and chiropractic field. I am originally from Southern California but moved to Livermore about a decade ago to be closer to my family. Not long after living and working here, I met my husband and we have been blessed raising our children while running our businesses. I also keep active in our community by staying involved in our children’s schools, volunteering as a team parent for their sports teams and in our children’s ministry at church. Recently, I decided to continue serving in Livermore by running for the LVJUSD School Board. I want to continue to have a positive impact for our children and their families. Bringing unity to our district, improving our academics, and school safety are my top priorities for LVJUSD.
