It's easy to find reasons to celebrate Cajon Valley USD, but one mark of a trustee should be our eagerness to connect with our constituents to hear not only the positive, but also the negative, and be open to constructive criticism.  Being a public servant means being receptive and available first to listen and choose to relate by putting myself in someone else's shoes, even when there are other personalities or situations that may not exist in my own life or experiences.  Secondly, it is my duty and honor to put time and effort into gathering information and advocating for those whom I represent, including students, families, staff, and the community as a whole.  It is my goal to walk this out with grace and tenacity.  So please, reach out and give me your feedback!
