What Factors Most Strongly Influenced your Decision to Run for the School Board?

I grew up in Coppell, and I’m a proud product of Coppell ISD schools. Now my kids are a part of Coppell ISD too. I’m also a former educator, so education is both my passion and my past profession. All of these reasons influenced my decision to run for the school board

What are your 1-5 year goals for the students in CISD?

Improving the student experience by focusing on Coppell ISD’s Core Values and Mission Statement:  Working together, we are committed to creating profound learning experiences for each child, while nurturing meaningful relationships, to positively impact our world.

Is there valuable insight and some information you feel a prospective school board candidate should know BEFORE they seek election?

I would say this: it takes more time than you think, and it is worth every minute. To prepare, I would encourage you to get involved in the PTOs, take the iLead class, and attend board meetings.
