I will bring proactive budget management to Eanes ISD by reducing the $7 million deficit through common-sense, strategic cuts—not classroom cuts. Instead of raising taxes that send up to 80% of local revenue back to the state through VATREs, I’ll focus on eliminating wasteful spending, prioritizing instructional needs, and negotiating smarter agreements that generate new revenue for our schools. I believe in long-term thinking, financial transparency, and making every dollar work harder for students, teachers, and taxpayers.

I believe Eanes ISD works best when the community is informed, involved, and respected. I will champion honest and open dialogue—engaging parents, teachers, and taxpayers early in the decision-making process, not after the fact. From long-term district planning to tax implications, I will ensure the community gets the full picture upfront, not just polished talking points. My leadership is rooted in transparency, proactive communication, and the belief that trust is earned through truth—not spin.

Since 2020, Eanes ISD has seen a steady decline in enrollment as families quietly choose alternatives—but it doesn’t have to be that way. I am committed to reversing that trend by restoring confidence in the district through smart leadership and real accountability. I’ll focus on what matters most: improving academic outcomes, turning around falling test scores and national rankings, and rebuilding the trust that once made Eanes a destination district. By putting students first and making data-driven decisions, I will help bring families back—and keep them here.

Eanes ISD is seeing more and more first-year teachers in the classroom—a reflection of rising turnover and growing challenges with retention. Teacher attrition in the district is now twice the national average, and that instability is taking a toll on students and staff alike. I believe we must invest in retaining experienced educators by paying competitive, market-rate salaries and offering thoughtful, merit-based incentives that reward excellence. My plan includes restoring support for teachers, improving working conditions, and building a stronger pipeline of talent—because great schools start with great teachers who choose to stay.

I am focused on solutions, not sides. I’m committed to moving past the zero-sum party politics that divide communities and stall progress. Instead, she’s building a win-win coalition—parents, teachers, taxpayers, and students—who believe that Eanes ISD’s challenges are best solved together. I know that real leadership means listening to different perspectives, finding common ground, and uniting the community around smart, pragmatic action. It’s not about partisanship—it’s about partnership. And it’s the kind of leadership Eanes needs now more than ever.
