Castro Valley is my home. I grew up in these schools, I'm raising my own child in this district, and I'm ready to bring 25+ years of experience and 9 years of hands-on school service to the board table.
Three interconnected pillars define Myla's candidacy — and show up in every priority she's running on.
Myla isn't a parachute candidate — she grew up here, attended these schools, and now sends her own child through the district. Her commitment is proven through 9+ years of active service on parent groups and School Site Councils.
Myla believes in partnership — listening, engaging, and working together to solve problems. Effective leadership requires both advocacy and collaboration, and that spirit is essential to revitalizing district trust.
Myla's roots in Castro Valley aren't temporary or political — this is her home. Her leadership experience extends beyond schools into the broader community, including the Chabot Swim Club.
"I know what families need because I am a family."
As a working parent, Myla understands the daily realities families face — balancing careers and school involvement, advocating for a child's opportunities, navigating school systems, and trusting that our schools have every child's best interests at heart.
For over 25 years she's worked in supply chain, logistics, finance, accounting, and integrated business planning — managing complex budgets, holding teams accountable, and making strategic long-term decisions. Those are exactly the skills this school board needs at the table, especially when it comes to spending every dollar wisely and transparently.
These priorities form the substance of Myla's platform for Castro Valley schools.
Preparing students for college, career, and life through strong academics, critical thinking, creativity, and real-world skills.
Expanding authentic family engagement, encouraging open dialogue, and finding practical solutions together.
Supporting schools where students and staff feel physically safe, emotionally supported, and able to experience belonging.
Ensuring every dollar is used wisely, transparently, and in service of improving student outcomes.
From educators to community leaders, from parents to longtime residents, people who know Myla best believe she's ready to serve on the school board.
Castro Valley schools are built by people who show up. Here's where to start.
