Every child who attends Eanes ISD deserves an exemplary education in a school district that prioritizes their social and emotional well-being. I have lived in Eanes ISD for over 20 years and my children attended Eanes ISD from kindergarten through high school graduation. I have spent hundreds of hours of volunteer time serving children in our community. I am deeply invested in our community. For me, it's always about Eanes ISD and doing what's best for our children.
Join me in making a clear commitment to our children:
Keep Eanes ISD excellent.
Making a Difference
As an active and involved member of the Eanes ISD community for 20 years, I understand our culture and values. I am an experienced community volunteer who works hard for our children. From cold nights on Scout camping trips, to helping coach early morning baseball practices, to chaperoning band trips, I have put my volunteer time where my passions are - helping young people grow into successful adults.
A proven commitment to our children

A beacon

A true servant leader
I am an experienced Eanes ISD School Board trustee. I invest an average of 50 hours a month in service to the children, teachers, and parents of our district. I am a regular visitor to school campuses and many sporting, fine arts, and community events. For me, serving as trustee is not a hobby, but a duty that I enjoy fulfilling.
