Supporters Talk About Nicky

Reginald James, former student trustee for the Peralta Colleges:

Nicky is a tremendous student advocate who truly practices what he preaches. He is passionate about student equity, engagement and empowerment, and when it comes to environmental solutions there is none more committed than he.

Marie Roberts, former student at De Anza College in Cupertino:

Your Poli Sci class changed my life. I had dreaded taking Political Science, but was surprised to find out that I actually enjoyed it...in fact, it was my favorite class at De Anza. I remember writing 9-10 page papers when you only asked for 6 pages. ... Not a day goes by that I do not speak or act in a way that is a direct result of what I learned in your class.

I currently work as a photographer in Sacramento, but am thinking about going back to school to teach. It is people like you who have reminded me that if I have a passion for something that I should put it into action. I admire your passion for politics and wish you the best in the Peralta election.

Monica Pen, former student at De Anza College:

He was my political science professor at De Anza college, and I was thrilled when he asked me to be a teaching assistant. This gentle man is amazing and very passionate about making a difference in the community.
