Board of Directors Chair

I am honored to serve and bring my experience, perspective, and passion for education to this role. I graduated from the University of Houston in 2000 and am a certified teacher. After several years in the classroom, I began homeschooling my children while living in Seattle. What started as a personal journey grew into more than 13 years of homeschooling and a lifelong commitment to supporting families through home education.

Over the years, I have served on the boards of two homeschool organizations and as vice principal of a weekend school, where I gained valuable leadership experience and enjoyed encouraging students, parents, and fellow educators.

I am currently working toward becoming a Certified Texas Master Naturalist, reflecting my passion for lifelong learning and the natural world. My greatest interests are nature, history, and astronomy.

I believe education should empower children through curiosity, inquiry, thoughtful risk-taking, and the development of critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. These foundations help young people become kind, confident, and capable individuals who are prepared to address the challenges of tomorrow—including those we cannot yet imagine—and to serve as responsible stewards of humanity and our planet.

It is a privilege to serve our community, and I look forward to supporting families and helping our organization continue to grow.

Board of Directors Secretary

Raised in Harlem, New York, I grew up with a deep understanding that while the world is vast, strong communities are built through connection, care, and shared responsibility. That belief has guided every chapter of my life. Today, as a parent, homeschooling educator, and education advocate, I am deeply committed to child-centered, whole-person learning and to creating environments where families and communities can truly thrive.

I earned my undergraduate degree before completing a Master’s in Experimental Psychology, where I studied human development, behavior, and research design. That academic foundation led me toward a broader exploration of holistic health and wellness, particularly how physical, emotional, and environmental factors shape a child’s ability to learn and grow. This path took me to Los Angeles, where I received hands-on training in plant-based culinary arts and worked for many years as a private chef and within wellness spas and retreats. Serving individuals and families navigating health challenges gave me a front-row view of the powerful connection between nutrition, wellbeing, and human development.

After becoming a mother, I experienced firsthand how limited traditional educational options can be for families seeking more holistic, flexible, and developmentally responsive learning environments. Homeschooling allowed my family the freedom to explore diverse curricula, including Waldorf-inspired and play-based approaches that support creativity, emotional intelligence, and a lifelong love of learning.

I strongly support the mission of Learning Blueprint School and its commitment to preparing students for both academic success and meaningful participation in the world. My background in psychology, wellness, and family-centered education, along with my ability to identify and connect local resources, positions me to contribute thoughtfully and strategically as a board member.

I am committed to helping build a school community where Houston families feel supported, children are seen as whole people, and education is rooted in both excellence and care. We are shaping the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators, and I am honored to be part of that work.
