“As my Education Specialist, Francesca weighed in on education legislation, spotted education trends, and brought constituent concerns to my attention. Ever a journalist, Francesca asked thought-provoking questions and clearly relished contemplating public policy benefits and drawbacks. She is an outstanding communicator and a consummate professional. I know that she would greatly contribute, as a member of the Menlo Park School Board.”
