San Jacinto College is a minority serving institution with nearly 45,000 students across four campuses. Serving students, constituents, and local employers over 15 years has given me great insight in how to address multiple needs. During my tenure, the Board set a student success vision and saw the College achieve the Rising Star award by the Aspen Institute. During my tenure on the Board, I have served as Building Committee Chair and Board Chair.  I also serve the community through North Shore Rotary and Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, both provide scholarships to area students.  I have also served in leadership positions in professional organizations.
