About me

I am living my immigrant father’s dreams. I went to San Francisco public schools, Argonne, Presidio, Lowell. I went to Harvard, a great college. I have had professional success. I worked to cure cancer; I received a Merck research award. I switched careers and I built new market-rate and affordable housing. Now I want to help my step up and give back.

Looking back, a lot of who I am is thanks to public schools. My Presidio Middle School english teacher, Ms. Johnson, taught me poetry. There is one poem I remember to this day, “beauty is truth and truth beauty.”

Let’s think about that line. How much truth is there today? I have a vision to make SF schools beautiful.

I am running for the Board of Education to bring back truth and beauty to San Francisco public schools. I would be honored if you would join me.
