Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

After 24 rewarding years of service, it is with mixed emotions that I retire from the Austin School Board. Since joining the board in 2000, I have had the privilege of serving as clerk, treasurer, vice chairwoman, and chairwoman. I have always aimed to strengthen our schools by helping shape policies that benefit all learners. Contributing to our district’s success alongside such dedicated colleagues and educators has been an honor.

Reflecting on my tenure, I am confident that our collective work on the board has enhanced APS students’ well-being and academic experience.  I am filled with gratitude and a profound sense of pride as I step down.

I am eager to see the district’s continued success in the years ahead, guided by its long-term strategic plan. I am confident that APS will continue creating an environment where every student has the support they need to become their best version.

While retiring from my school board position, I am excited to remain an active member of the APS community and support the district’s future endeavors. As I pass the torch, I trust our unique, diverse, growing district will continue to thrive.

A sincere thank you for the support of my family, our community, and the ever-vibrant inspiration of our students.
