I proudly serve on the Fort Sam Houston ISD Board of Trustees, 

bringing both personal experience and professional commitment to this role. 

As a third generation Army officer, I was commissioned into the

U.S. Army Medical Service Corps through ROTC at 

Cameron University in 1998. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology 

from Cameron University and a Master of Environmental Management from the 

University of Maryland University College.  My husband and I are raising

three children in a dual military household. Our family has navigated 

multiple moves, deployments, and transitions, and we understand the

unique challenges military families face. I know how vital it is for

schools to provide not only strong academics, but also stability, connection, and care. 

As a parent, I’ve seen how education builds confidence and character.

As a trustee, I believe every child can succeed when supported by 

excellent teachers, nurturing environments, and strong community partnerships. 

My leadership is rooted in service, transparency, and a deep commitment to others.

I’m proud to work alongside fellow trustees, educators, and families who share a strong

dedication to educational excellence. Fort Sam Houston ISD reflects the strength of

military families and the promise of public education. I am committed to helping

every student grow, achieve, and succeed in school and in life.
