I was raised to value serving others in your community, and continue to instill that belief in my own children. In my professional life I subscribe to the philosophy of servant leadership where listening, empathy, foresight, stewardship, and committing to the growth of people play a significant role. In my personal life I have strived to serve my community when opportunities arise through volunteering my time, or serving on various boards at both the local and state level. I strongly believe that a community’s system of public schools is one of the most important, if not the most important, functions it undertakes. Nothing has a greater role to play on everything from local economic development, to community pride, to personal growth and development.
Every day, thousands of families across New Braunfels, entrust our public school system to care for and educate our most precious gifts, our children. I do not believe that there is a parent, or community member out there who would not want the very best educational opportunities for our children to be made available in our schools. When the call for candidates for the District 5 Trustee vacancy was announced, I knew the people of New Braunfels deserved a candidate who has a deep understanding and a background in Texas public education. I knew that this was the right opportunity to use my skills, knowledge, and talents to serve my community. I have been a Texas public school educator for 25 years. Having served as a high school teacher, a Special Program Coordinator, a Technology Specialist, and currently as a Chief Technology Officer for Randolph Field ISD, I offer the voters and students of New Braunfels the kind of experience and passion for education that they deserve.
I believe that I am uniquely qualified to work on behalf of the families and students in New Braunfels and with the other members of the School Board to address the important issues that our community and schools are currently or soon will be facing. Chief among these issues, I believe, are:
- Working with a newly hired Superintendent to set a vision and action plan for a highly effective school district dedicated to educating the whole child.
- Strategically planning for smart and responsible growth of our school district as New Braunfels experiences tremendous growth.
- Ensuring that all of our children continue to receive a high-quality educational experience, and are college or career ready upon graduation, through review and continuous improvement of NBISD academics and extracurricular activities including Career and Technology offerings, Gifted and Talented programming, Special Education services, Advanced Academics, Fine Arts options, and Athletics.
I am running for school board to serve the voters and students of New Braunfels in the best way I am qualified to serve. I would be honored and humbled to earn your trust and vote.
