I am running for Place 3 of the Leander ISD School Board because I believe public education is the cornerstone of a strong society. Every child in our district deserves the opportunity of quality education, which is abundant within our district. I believe that as each family embarks on the educational journey for their children, Leander ISD can provide an amazing place to learn and grow for each child. With the help of teachers, parents, and community members, together we can provide many enriching possibilities.
My family and I moved to Cedar Park in 2004 from San Diego, California and Iām married to the love of my life, Bill. We have four wonderful boys, all of which enjoyed their amazing educational experiences at our Leander ISD schools. My oldest is grown and lives in Round Rock with his wonderful girlfriend. I have a 2020 graduate from Vista Ridge High School who is headed to the University of Texas at Dallas to double major in Physics and Mathematics. I also have a junior at VRHS and my youngest is an eighth-grader at Henry Middle School.
My involvement with many organizations and programs within Leander ISD gives me a unique perspective to be your Trustee for Place 3. I have been an employee, working as an instructional assistant for Resource and Inclusion at Reagan Elementary, Vista Ridge High School PTSA Inclusion Chair, VRHS Site based committee member, a coach, a member and executive board member of the VRHS Band booster club, a PTA member, a GSA Committee member, a LEEF Ambassador for Henry Middle School and Vista Ridge High School, a substitute teacher, volunteer, and most of all I am a proud parent of 2 graduates and 2 current Leander ISD students. I am also responsible for helping to bring Math Pentathlon to Leander ISD and other surrounding districts and currently serve as Program Coordinator for the Pentathlon Institute, a non-profit educational organization.
