Notable Quotes
“Our community needs a catalyst for change. I believe that by serving on the Board of Trustees, I can be that catalyst and ensure that no child in our district is left behind.”
“I celebrate every child who has struggled to find confidence in the classroom, every parent who has fought to make sure their child is seen and understood, and every educator who has helped a child discover that learning differently does not mean they are any less capable.”
Positions on Texas Eagle Forum Priorities
Education Issues
- TOP EDUCATION PRIORITY: "Students should be at the center of every decision made in Conroe ISD. That means supporting teachers with the resources they need, prioritizing student learning, and keeping students well-being in mind."[1][2]
- CHALLENGES FACING THE DISTRICT: "Three stand out: unfunded state and federal mandates straining our budget, ensuring new curriculum is implemented well so reading and math scores improve, and rebuilding trust with staff and families through a major leadership and systems transition."[1]
- SUPPORTING TEACHERS: "The district can do more to provide real training, mentorship, and resources during major changes like new curriculum rollouts, not just materials. Outside the classroom, competitive pay and manageable workloads matter too, so teachers feel supported, not just directed."[1]
- PREVENTING BUDGET SHORTFALLS: "Conduct annual third-party financial audits, use conservative and honest enrollment and appraisal forecasting rather than best-case assumptions, and apply tighter scrutiny before approving new debt so future budgets aren't built on numbers that don't materialize."[1]
- IMPLEMENTED A MONTHLY MONITORING DASHBOARD to track curriculum rollout performance indicators and metrics against district-wide targets, address campus-level support needs, and define available support through campus staffing, curriculum & instruction, and School Improvement Departments (2026). Allows families to understand how their campus is doing month to month.[1]
- FOUNDER OF A PARENT-LED GROUP (SEPAC) THAT COLLABORATES WITH THE DISTRICT to improve the educational experience for students with special needs.[1]
- TESTIFIED BEFORE THE TEXAS SENATE COMMITTEE FOR EDUCATION in favor of the Beckley Wilson Act for Dyslexia. The bill passed unanimously in 2023. Works to pass conservative education bills each session in the Texas Legislature.[1]
Protect Childhood Innocence
- ON THE PARENTS' ROLE: "We will protect parental rights, restore traditional values to our schools, and make sure every mom and dad has a seat at the table. We are going to make Conroe ISD a district that answers to parents first."[1]
Gender Issues
- CAMPAIGN COMMITMENT TO FIGHT TO REMOVE INAPPROPRIATE MATERIALS from classrooms and "make sure our schools stay focused on education, not liberal indoctrination."[1]
Property Tax Relief
- VOTED TO KEEP TAXPAYER RELIEF WITH THE TAXPAYERS instead of redirecting it to a gap in bond projections that is expected to be addressed by restructing bonds. This relief resulted from House Bill 3 (2025), which was passed to decrease the M&O tax rate and give homeowners relief.[1]
