In 1999, the Miami Herald named her one of the "Forty Special People to Watch in the next Millennium."

I served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2000-2006. Prior to that, I served as a General Magistrate for the Miami-Dade County Value Adjustment Board. In 1994, Pres. Bill Clinton appointed me to the steering committee of the Summit of the Americas. While serving in a Republican dominated Legislature with Jeb Bush as Governor, I managed to get $2.3 million for the first clinic ever built in Little Haiti. I passed the Pride Enterprise bill, which allowed state prisoners to learn computer skills while doing time so that they can have a skill if they want to turn their lives around when they get out. I amended an anti-nepotism provision in a school reform bill that banned nepotism on the Miami-Dade County School board. I amended a bill by then State Representative Stacy Ritter, to allow immigrants with cases pending before Immigration Courts or USCIS to have drivers' licenses while their cases are pending. I'm also an attorney who has practiced law in Miami for the past 22 years.

The confidence and trust in our School Board and in public education has been severely compromised in the last few years. I believe that if elected to the School Board of Broward County, District 4, through my leadership skills I will take us one step closer towards restoring that confidence and trust. Thank you for your support. I look forward to hearing your concerns and to working with you to make our community a better place to live and our schools better places to learn.

Public education is this country's great equalizer - it gave rise to the greatest middle class in the world. Yet today, public education is under attack. Our students are leaving high school with very few, if any, employable skills; the public is tired of mis-spending and back room politics; and our neighborhood schools are in jeopardy.
My 23 year military career in the Navy Special Operations community laid the foundation for my run for the school board. I have always been involved in education. As a certified Navy Instructor I provided special operations training to both foreign and domestic military personnel of all four services. As I progressed through the ranks my experience, managerial skills, and leadership earned me a commission as a Naval Officer through the Navy’s Limited Duty Officer (LDO) program. As such I commanded a variety of special operations commands including research and development commands where I worked with contractors and foreign governments. My final command was a Pacific training command where I was responsible for personnel, curriculum, and fiscal management.
After retiring from the Navy, I continued my passion for education by becoming a Florida certified teacher through the Troops to Teachers program. I have taught in middle schools and high schools; core curriculum classes and elective classes as well as an alternative school. I know classrooms!
My years of experience as a classroom teacher, combined with my business experience as a naval officer make me the best choice for today’s school board.
