Summary

I’m passionate about Covina-Valley and it’s students. As a former South Hills Graduate, and student at Mesa, Sierra Vista, and a parent of 3 Sourh Hills graduates (also Mesa and Sierra Vista students) my heart is here. My interest in the well being and success of today’s generation of kids is deep. I value the importance of everyone impacting the youth in their educational years, including the substitute teachers, who share only moments with them but acknowledge the significant role that a substitute teacher plays in keeping the positivity and cohesiveness in their learning environment.
