mom & Tech entrepreneur

hi! I'm tanya

I volunteer in our SBSD schools every week. And I am a Solana Beach Schools Foundation board member. I'm running for the SBSD school board because I want to continue to give back-- for my daughter and all kids.

public EDUCATION CHANGED MY LIFE

I'm the proud product of California public schools. I didn't grow up with a lot of money, but my public school education gave me foundational skills that unlocked opportunities. Public schools created a pathway for me to earn a BA from Stanford, an MBA from Northwestern, and build a successful career in tech.

Every child deserves these types of transformative opportunities.

MY PLEDGE TO YOU

I will be a responsible steward of your deep investment in our schools by collaborating to protect and advance our high-performing schools. I’ll represent the needs of all students, families, and teachers to forge a strong, united community.

PUT MY SKILLS TO WORK FOR OUR KIDS

  • Technology & Innovation. I think critically about preparing kids for a global future immersed in technology.

  • Research & Data Analysis. I use evidence-based methods to solve problems.

  • Budget Management. Having managed my own business and large teams, fiscal responsibility is etched in my DNA.

  • Relationship Building. I am passionate about engaging with the community to understand the needs of students, teachers, and families. And I build coalitions to solve problems.
