My top priority is supporting teachers and staff. I plan to listen carefully to their concerns and champion initiatives and funding that improve schools from within.

Closely related, I will focus on student mental health and suicide prevention, recognizing the critical role teachers, counselors, and administrators play in supporting students’ well-being.

I am not running as a representative of any political party. School board service is about students, teachers, and building trust with parents and the community while not advancing political agendas.

My decisions are guided by clear values: academic excellence, parental transparency, fiscal responsibility, and respect for educators. I will work with anyone committed to helping students succeed and keeping schools focused on education rather than politics.

I support keeping inappropriate books out of schools and ensuring instructional materials and library books are grade-appropriate.

At the same time, recent policies have sometimes gone too far, removing classic literature or other well-known American favorites, some of which are required in AP-level courses. Board policies (EFA/EFB) should be reviewed for clarity to ensure staff have clear guidance on which books or digital media is appropriate for students.

I also support modernizing the book challenge process. Recent Texas law allows the creation of a Student Library Advisory Council (SLAC) to help manage library materials and make recommendations on book challenges, which is a more effective approach than debating each book title in public board meetings.

Finally, I believe board oversight should focus on policy and process, not micromanagement. Our district hires professionals to manage schools and libraries. If inappropriate books appear, the focus should be on improving procedures, not creating public spectacle.
