I was born and raised in La Mesa/Spring Valley and have lived in this area for most of my life.  I am the PTA President at Murdock Elementary and a Vice President with the 9th District PTA and Mt. Helix Council of PTA's.  I volunteer at school and serve on the La Mesa Spring Valley School District Budget Study Committee.  I am also a youth soccer coach and the PR Coordinator for La Mesa AYSO, and a volunteer with La Mesa National Little League.  My blog posts may or may not be the opinions of those organizations, so I will always try to clarify if I am simply speaking my own opinions rather than converying information.
