About Eryn

Eryn King is a longtime Walnut Creek community volunteer, public education advocate, and mother of two Walnut Creek public school students. As the daughter of a retired public school teacher, she understands firsthand the difference strong public schools make for students, families, and the broader community.

Eryn holds a Master of Science in Marketing from Santa Clara University and has spent her career building strong organizations and connecting people around shared goals. She is running for Walnut Creek School District Governing Board because she believes our community deserves strong schools, responsible stewardship of public resources, and transparent leadership focused on students.

Eryn has served for ten years on the Walnut Creek Education Foundation Board, including four years as President. During her tenure, she helped grow annual fundraising from $850,000 to more than $1.6 million, supporting programs and opportunities for students across our TK-8 schools and Las Lomas High School. She brings experience in nonprofit governance, school finance, fundraising, communications, and community engagement.
