"The district, and its community, deserves a fresh start and better future. Ma is part of that future, and deserves your vote."
Hi, I'm Kingsley. I have two young children in the San Bruno Park School District and I'd be honored to be your school board member to help strengthen San Bruno schools.
As your school board member, my top priority will be elevating student achievement by providing all students with an educational foundation centered around science, technology, engineering, arts, and music. In order to accomplish this we have to ensure that our amazing educators have the resources they need and paying them competitively. These goals are achievable by transforming the board and district leadership into a productive team by creating a positive working environment built around trust, accountability, active listening, respectful discussion, and a proactive approach to community building.
I’ve spent time directly in the classroom as a substitute teacher at the San Bruno Park School District elementary schools and at Parkside. Getting to know the staff and students in this way has given me an appreciation of the challenges and successes that are experienced on a day-to-day basis.
My two decades of experience in technology have uniquely prepared me for the role of school board member. I have built mobile apps, software-as-a-service platforms, and fintech products, with high-performing teams in order to meet tight deadlines. Navigating the ever-evolving tech landscape means engaging with people from diverse backgrounds, understanding their challenges, and articulating these issues clearly to stakeholders. Additionally, this requires working closely with domain experts to create innovative solutions constrained by limited resources. These skills and experiences map well to the demands of a school board member, where strategic problem-solving, collaboration, and effective communication are essential.
Thank you for your consideration and please vote in this upcoming November election!
