About Midji

As a mother, wife, accountant, and educator, I have proudly called Union City home for 27 years. I hold a Master’s degree in Accounting and Financial Management, and with 15 years of experience running my own consulting business, I am deeply invested and focused on promoting the success of our diverse community.

Growing up in a family that owned a small shop, I learned the basics of business and the importance of understanding the "chain reaction in life." This experience taught me to see the bigger picture and develop critical thinking skills.

Later in my roles as a board member for local nonprofit organizations in the past eight years, overseeing youth and education committees, including as Toastmasters Youth Leadership Program (TYLP) Coordinator and a teacher at my church’s Youth Program, have shown me the transformative power of career and life skills-based education. I’ve seen firsthand how these programs can positively impact students, making them more confident, grounded, and academically motivated.

I’ve always believed that we can empower our youth by offering more hands-on, career-focused education, such as entrepreneurship, various trades, engineering, health sciences, and leadership skills.

Why you should vote for Midji

As your School Board Trustee - Area 1, I will:

  1. Expand existing career skills-based education as a part of high school extra credit to graduate and build a coalition with the local community and businesses to make this happen.

  2. Empower students with career skills-based education. We want our high school graduates to be well-versed in various career skills, such as trades, engineering, or health science combined with business/entrepreneurship knowledge. These programs can serve as powerful motivators, helping students see the direct connection between their academic efforts and future career opportunities. See below on more information on CTE or Career Technical Education.

  3. Emphasize Core Skills such as reading, writing, math, and life skills-based education (critical thinking, and leadership skills)

I love working with people and look forward to working with other Trustees, teachers, staff, and parents/guardians.

Let’s work together, I need your help, support, and especially your vote on November 5, 2024.

如果当选为您的校区董事会受托人，我承诺将：

  • 扩大针对中学生的职业技能教育机会，例如增加商业、工程、和健康科学方面的实习和创业。这些领域可以作为强大的推动力，帮助学生确定他们的学业计划和未来职业之间的联系。

  • 强调在阅读、写作、数学、和生活技能方面的教育，包括培养学生的批判性思维、沟通技巧、和领导能力。

Como su encargada de la Junta Escolar:

  • Expandiré la educación de habilidades enfocadas para el mundo profesional, como el Emprendimiento empresarial, Ingeniería y Ciencias de Salud para los estudiantes de Secundaria y Preparatoria. Estos programas  servirán para motivar a los estudiantes, ayudándolos a ver la relación entre el esfuerzo que ponen en la escuela y las oportunidades de trabajo que serán accesibles en su futuro. 

  • Pondré énfasis en las habilidades de Lectura, Escritura, Matemáticas, y habilidades necesarias en la vida, como pensamiento critico, comunicación, y liderazgo para todos los estudiantes.
