Question 1: What in your experience, personal and professional, qualifies to serve the community in this position?
“The role of a school board member has many facets. As a lifelong resident of Del Rio, a parent with children in our schools, and a taxpayer, I
understand the needs of each facet.

“In addition, my recent work in city government as a Recreation Supervisor, allowed me to manage budgets, oversee staff, maintain facilities, and work directly with families and youth programs. I’ve built strong relationships across our community and understand how to bring people together to solve problems and create opportunities for our kids.
“Personally, I am deeply invested in the success of our district. As a parent, I share the same expectations as every family such as safe schools, strong academics, and real opportunities for our children to grow and succeed.
“I am committed to leading with a frontline approach – visible, accessible, and engaged. I’m ready to listen, communicate, and make decisions that put students and teachers first.”
