Neuroscience Health Territory Manager
Why are you running for office?
Frisco ISD gave my family so much, and I want to give back. I'm running to restore transparency, rebuild trust with families, and ensure every budget dollar reaches classrooms. Frisco deserves a board that listens, communicates openly, and makes decisions our community can see and understand.
What are the biggest challenges facing Frisco ISD?
Declining enrollment is our most pressing challenge—families are choosing alternatives and the district must understand why and respond honestly. Budget transparency and fiscal discipline are equally urgent as enrollment shrinks. Rebuilding parent trust through open communication will determine whether Frisco ISD retains its standing as the district of choice.
How do you plan to address these issues?
I will push for public budget and enrollment dashboards any resident can access, a formal process ensuring parent concerns receive real responses and honest reporting on what's working and what isn't. Transparency isn't just good governance; it's the only way to rebuild confidence and keep families choosing Frisco ISD.
What would your top priorities be if you are elected?
Academic excellence—every child deserves to be pushed to their full potential. Enrollment and budget management—commitment to fiscal responsibility. School Safety—safe schools are the foundation of strong schools. Student and Teacher Retention. Open Communication and Transparency—trust is built when information is shared openly and everyone feels heard.

Why are you running for office?
Every child deserves a quality public education that opens doors and builds lasting success. Our neighborhood schools face real challenges—funding gaps, teacher retention, and vouchers that threaten enrollment. I will work to keep families engaged, spend resources wisely and continue strengthening our schools for the future.
What are the biggest challenges facing Frisco ISD?
Frisco ISD is facing real financial pressure—rising costs, stagnant state funding and declining enrollment are creating tough choices. We need to act with urgency while staying focused on both fiscal responsibility and protecting the quality of our schools. I’m committed to doing exactly that.
How do you plan to address these issues?
Locally, we need a community-wide approach to address declining enrollment, spend wisely, meet our financial obligations and continue improving student outcomes. At the same time, we need strong partnerships with the state to advocate for better per-student funding, competitive teacher pay and meaningful property tax relief to support long-term stability.
