Question 1: Please share a meaningful experience you had with art (visual, dance, drama, music, media arts) while growing up.

I enjoy watching opera and symphony orchestra music and dancing such as Ballet. My daughter has taken Ballet lessons. My son is playing violin and my daughter is playing piano. I love to watch them playing. I watched many Broadway shows and I can appreciate how much time and effort are put together in making such a beautiful art. I enjoy going to the art museum and watch the magnificent painting and sculptures. I believe and promote Science Technology Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM)

Question 2: What kind of creative solutions would you suggest to support student outcomes such as English language development, closing the achievement gap, and preparation for college and/or meaningful careers?

Student outcomes can be measured thru a proper assessment. Preparation for colleges can be achieved thru awareness, mentoring, tutoring and visitations to colleges are important.
We must close achievement gaps in all areas of performance through multi-disciplinary integrated and cross curriculum. We must provide the highest quality workshop-based professional training programs geared toward 21st century.

Our mission is to educate each and every child to achieve her or his best potential. This mission can be achieved only in the context of the realities of our society and the world. In the turbulence time of social, economic, technological and geopolitical, the local school board’s responsibility is very challenging. Fortunately my background as an educator (Professor of Engineering), leader, and administrator has prepared me to take on this rewarding responsibility.
