PAC Chair, Bargaining Chair, and Secretary of my local teacher's association here in Sacramento.  I earned degrees at UC Davis (undergrad), University of California (Master's in Education), and CSU Sacramento (teaching credentials), and am dedicated to volunteerism, community service, and electing great women democrats as well as those who are advocates and champions of democracy and women's rights.
