ABOUT YOU
Why are you running for this office?
I attended Richardson ISD schools from K-12 as did my siblings, and believe in the excellent education that we received from RISD. I’m a World History and African American Studies teacher of over a decade within in Dallas ISD, and deeply care about the educational needs of students, along with the support and equipping of educators. I believe my teaching experience of over a decade in one of the largest school districts in the country had prepared me for board service, along with my experience in developing recruitment strategies and district-wide curriculum for Dallas ISD. I not only care about the education of students, but the education of the district’s leadership, and thus I myself am a doctoral candidate, whose research involves pedagogy in both its modern context, while exploring future possibilities.
A candidate's personal moral values should not be relevant when considering a candidacy for elective office.
