I bring people together to get results and lead with transparency, accountability, and a focus on outcomes. My career in sales and marketing at Dell Technologies and Microsoft has strengthened my ability to analyze data, manage resources responsibly, and make informed decisions. I’ve served five years on a nonprofit board supporting people experiencing homelessness, including three as board president, and led large volunteer efforts to support vulnerable residents. As a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, I’ve seen the impact of strong support systems. I am committed to ensuring schools are safe, inclusive, and focused on student success.
1. Unfair distribution of resources across the district so that every student receives a quality education regardless of race, immigration status, orientation, gender, or religious affiliation. 2. Transparency/ accountability in reporting back to taxpayers on how their resources are being spent.
As a Board member, I will set clear equity goals and hold the superintendent accountable for fair resource distribution across all schools. I’ll push for transparent budgeting with regular public reporting on spending and outcomes. I will oppose unconstitutional mandates and censorship through policy review. Finally, I’ll strengthen two-way communication so families stay informed and engaged.

I taught in the classroom for fifteen years, so I understand the challenges teachers and students face every day. I am also a trial lawyer and small-business owner, which means I analyze evidence, ask tough questions, and hold institutions accountable.
As an SBISD parent, I care deeply about the success of our schools. I will bring independence, practical judgment, and a focus on strong schools that prepare every student for the future.
1. Declining enrollment.
Enrollment drives state funding, so fewer students means fewer resources. SBISD must compete for families with strong academics, safe campuses, and programs that prepare students for the modern economy, including learning how to use emerging tools like artificial intelligence responsibly. We must also address the “bunker mentality”—the belief that public schools do not matter if your children are grown or in private school.
2. Budget pressure.
SBISD faces financial strain from declining enrollment and uncertain state funding. The board must protect the classroom, control administrative costs, and maintain transparent, responsible budgeting.
