What motivates you to serve as a Seguin ISD board member?
My motivation comes from many years of involvement in Seguin ISD -- I have seen the potential of the district through the many roles that I have served. I worked as a teacher for 10 years, and then came back to the district as a parent and volunteer. I would like to see SISD become one of the premier districts in central Texas - a destination district.

What are some highlights you've experienced serving on the board of trustees?
The dedication of the newly built high school facilities would be at the top of the list. I have served under three superintendents--each very talented and unique in their leadership styles and providing for the success of student learning in their hearts. I have enjoyed working with an amazing staff who are truly committed to supporting the vision and goals we've set to achieve for the children of Seguin ISD. The role of a school board member is not simple--it is complex and diverse encompassing the skills and experiences of each member. It is a team effort that produces a successful outcome. It has been challenging and sometimes painful. But, our district is in good financial shape and continues to be successful in providing the students with an education of which they can be proud.
