Caddo is poised to take off.

Caddo Parish is now a B-rated district, and we have surpassed our pre-Covid educational attainment. The momentum is real.

Keeping it takes strong, cooperative leadership: a board that works together so our schools stay on this path.

The only candidate with Caddo Parish School Board leadership experience.

Both of my children were, and are being, educated in Caddo public schools.

Still working for Caddo's children

Since my time on the board, I have stayed focused on expanding education access and attainment for every child in Caddo Parish.

Kindergarten readiness

I'm working with regional non-profits, business leaders and political leaders to improve kindergarten readiness scores.

Quality childcare for every child

I'm creating a permanent endowment so that every Caddo child, regardless of family income, has access to quality childcare.

Help keep Caddo schools moving forward.
