What I Believe
Commitment
to students
Our students deserve a leader who values all of the unique skills and talents that they bring to school beyond being able to bubble in the circle on a test. Alief ISD should provide our children with a sense of civic duty, compassion toward others, and the knowledge and skills necessary for success in the 21st century. Our community needs, students who can communicate, collaborate, negotiate, and create! Alief students will communicate ideas and messages clearly, collaborate with others from diverse cultural backgrounds to solve real world problems, negotiate multiple ways to solve authentic, everyday situations that will help them in LIFE, and students who can use their unique talents to create new and innovative works. The responsibility for student success is shared-students, parents, teachers, administrators, community leaders, neighborhoods, civic organizations, and religious institutions all play a vital role in this endeavor.

Retaining
our jewels
One of our board goals is to recruit, develop, and retain highly qualified and effective personnel. Alief has an outstanding record of recruiting and developing hundreds of passionate personnel. I will support the district by supporting their efforts in retaining our jewels and see our best stay in Alief.
A Parent's
Passion
I know that there has to be a certain amount of structure that is needed to ensure consistency and integrity within an organization, but as a parent of three very different children, I also know that there is not a “one size fits all” approach to educating a child, therefore, all students deserve the resources and support they need to reach their full academic potential. And finally, as a taxpayer, we have the right to expect results for the investment we make in our kids.
