What are your 1-5 year goals for the students in CISD?
My goals are to provide opportunities for all students to forge strong relationships that nurture their exploration of their passions – whether they are college bound or have other post-graduate plans – while they develop tenacity, resourcefulness and character. I desire for our students to feel safe, challenged and ready for life after graduation.

Is there valuable insight and some information you feel a prospective school board candidate should know BEFORE they seek election?
Prospective school board candidates should be aware of the time commitment required to serve and how much more involved that is than campaigning. It is beneficial to have served on CISD committees, volunteered on campus and to understand that school board trustees are responsible for equally serving all students and interests.
