I can demonstrate ability to lead with respect, and enhance team collaboration. I am bilingual in Spanish, and also a former student of NMCUSD. My background as a son of farm workers who picked strawberries in the Salinas Valley gives me a deep understanding and appreciation of students whose parents currently work in the fields.
