The Thrive Plan
Building an educational environment that not only addresses today's challenges but anticipates tomorrow's opportunities.
Our Commitment
A vision for Dallas College
As an elected member of the Dallas College Board of Trustees, District 7, my goal is to ensure that every student who chooses Dallas College has access to the support and opportunities necessary to realize their full potential. With my background in healthcare, global business, and as a veteran, I bring a unique lens to the pursuit of equitable education. The implementation of Texas HB8 marks a critical juncture, allowing us to tailor our community college's programs to align with the high-demand careers vital to our state's and economy's future.
My vision for Dallas College is grounded in the belief that education is the most powerful tool for change. It's about creating a seamless educational journey for our students, from early childhood through adulthood, ensuring they have clear paths to career readiness and higher education. This vision is supported by robust partnerships with local DISDs, four-year universities, and employers to offer accessible pathways to industry-aligned degrees, credentials, and meaningful employment.
