“Education is a personal passion of mine. I like learning about educational theories, movements, charter schools, school choice–it’s all up my alley.
I really love working with schools and public entities, and my experience in private practice and at CalTrans has been a big advantage.”

“One aspect of working for school districts I really enjoy is the collaboration. All the parties involved are focused on what’s best for the child.
I have a particular love for the field of special education, and that enjoyment, coupled with a background in public policy, helps me deliver
results.”
– Omer Khan
