Claudia Aranda

Hi, my name is Claudia.  My husband and I are the proud parents of Victoria, an SES second grader.  While we aren't native Marylanders (Vicente was born in California and raised in Washington state, and I was born and raised in Texas), we are proud to have called Montgomery County home since 2012. We are grateful to now be a part of the SES community. In my professional life, I have used my legal background to uncover barriers to fair housing and to promote diversity, equity and inclusion principles and best practices.  I am excited to serve on the Sherwood PTA board, help support our school community, and connect with other SES families.
