What makes you qualified to represent District 2 in NEISD?
As the current trustee, I have fought for our students, our teachers and our communities to promote excellence and innovation within our district. Our students and our community deserve and expect a learning environment that is safe, academically challenging and responsive to the needs of our diverse population.
Briefly, what are the three top issues your campaign is focusing on?
Increase student success in the classroom; be responsible with our tax dollars while maintaining exceptional programs; ensure competitive compensation, professional growth and a decision-making voice for our teachers. I also think it’s important to keep our parents, guardians and community informed with timely information.
In terms of what constituents see as the issue most important to them, what is your experience or approach to that issue that distinguishes you from your opponent?
I have volunteered at our schools in various capacities over the years and have seen firsthand the impacts board decisions have on our students. I am fair, thoughtful, and have the skillset to listen, evaluate and act in the best interest of my community and of all students.
