About

ABOUT CARLOS

Carlos has lived in Normandy Park since moving there from New York City in 2011 with his wife of 14 years; his experience going through the NYC public school system is what drives his passion for access to a quality education for all. 

Carlos has a technology and consulting background, having worked for large companies such as NBC Universal and Google. For the past 4 years he has served as the Board Chair for Seattle Credit Union helping the financial institution achieve its mission of serving communities traditionally ignored by large banks. Carlos is passionate about volunteering with community focused organizations of varying scope. He is currently a part of the Marvista Elementary PTSA, where his two daughters attend. He also volunteers his time as a board member with Southeast Effective Development (SEED), a non-profit focused on affordable housing, supporting the arts, and economic development. In the past he has served on the board of Pioneer Human Services and was appointed by Governor Inslee as a commissioner with the Commission on Hispanic Affairs, representing the counties of King and Pierce.

Carlos is excited about the opportunity to advocate for all the families served by the Highline School District.

MY PRIORITIES

Community

Engagement

We must use community input to assess what gaps remain in our students' education since 2020. Our tremendously diverse schools deserve school board members who will meet them where they are to hear what our students need.

Teacher Empowerment

It's urgent to assess the total cost associated with the loss of educators. We need to understand the impacts of policy on our teaching staff to give them the tools they need to do their jobs and keep them in our schools.

Environmental Protection

Our school district wraps around the airport and we know that air quality affects children's' performance in school. I will help fund studies and partner with other elected officials to improve our environment in school.
