I live here. I work here. And I’ve been an Austin ISD parent and volunteer since 2010.

I’m not running for AISD Trustee as a stepping stone or to simply sit on the dais. I’m running to bring the voices of our community with me.

Every child deserves the support to succeed.

I will fight for strong special education services, meaningful supports, literacy, and the resources students and educators need to thrive.

School Curriculum

Let me be clear: We need and demand better.
• A minimum $1,300 increase to the basic allotment—because anything less keeps districts in crisis. **Our districts need more than $1,300 increase to the basic allotment.
• A transportation funding increase that reflects actual costs—because the last adjustment was made when gas was $1.00 and bus drivers made $6.50/hour. Today, districts pay drivers $24/hour minimum, and we all know gas prices are not a dollar.

• A complete revamp of recapture—because Austin ISD is paying over $900 million annually while unable to afford to educate its own students.
You were elected to lead. Start acting like it. Do your jobs and fully fund our schools.

What do you see as the biggest challenge facing Austin ISD right now, and how would you address it?
AISD faces a convergence of challenges: potential state intervention, financial pressures, recapture, enrollment losses, and closures. We cannot address any of these issues in isolation. I would prioritize the campus level needs of students and staff while rebuilding trust, strengthening relationships, and financial transparency.

Standing input from special education families, Title I campuses, paraprofessionals, and teachers — before votes, not after.

• Higher teacher pay—because we cannot retain educators when they’re underpaid and overworked.
• Reimbursement for special education evaluations—because districts shouldn’t have to fight for what they’re required by law to provide.

Our community deserves a trustee who listens first, provides education and transparently informs the community, asks hard questions, and follows through.

I will champion strong special education services, protect the supports our students and families depend on, make district information accessible and understandable, and ensure our community has a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect our children.

- A trustee is an elected member of a local school board who helps govern a public school district.

- Trustees represent community interests and are responsible for setting policies that guide how the school district operates.

- The board of trustees hires and evaluates the superintendent, who manages the day-to-day operations of the district.

- Trustees approve the district’s budget, monitor spending, and may set the local tax rate or call for bond elections to fund schools.

- The board also oversees educational programs, district goals, and overall performance.

- In Texas, trustees are elected to four-year terms, often on a rotating basis, so not all seats are elected at the same time.

- Trustees serve without financial compensation.
