About Cindy
A dedicated educator with a passion for creating equitable learning opportunities and empowering both students and teachers to reach their full potential.
My Story
My journey in education began in the music classroom, where I discovered the transformative power of connecting with students through creativity and expression. Teaching music taught me that every student has unique gifts waiting to be discovered.
As I grew in my career, I became increasingly passionate about supporting students who learn differently. This led me to become a learning specialist, where I developed expertise in creating individualized learning pathways and advocating for students with diverse needs.
Today, as an Assistant Principal in San Francisco Unified School District, I have the privilege of impacting education at a broader level. I work alongside teachers, families, and community partners to create school environments where every student feels seen, valued, and supported.
I believe that great schools are built on relationships, high expectations, and a commitment to equity. My goal is to ensure that every student, regardless of their background, has access to the opportunities they need to succeed.

Community

Growth
Continuous learning and improvement are essential for both students and educators.
Compassion
Leading with empathy and understanding the whole child is fundamental to effective education.
Beyond the School
When I'm not at school, you can find me exploring San Francisco, reading the latest books on education and leadership, or enjoying time with family and friends. I believe that maintaining balance and pursuing personal interests makes me a better educator.
