About Laura

I’m a proud parent of four children in Georgetown ISD and a Class of 2008 Georgetown ISD alum. Like so many families in our community, our schools are at the center of our daily lives. I’m running for the school board because I care deeply about student success, staff support, and ensuring our schools remain strong, safe, and focused on learning—now and for future generations.

I’m also a registered nurse with extensive experience in leadership, ethics, and systems improvement. My professional background has shaped how I approach problem-solving: listening first, using evidence to guide decisions, and always putting people at the center. I was honored to receive the Texas Organization of School Nurses President’s Award, recognizing my leadership and service to school health and school nurse well-being.

Community leadership and service include:

• Georgetown ISD Citizens Advisory Committee
   
• 2024 GISD Bond Committee
   
• Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC)
   
• Ongoing community volunteer service supporting students, families, and educators
   

I believe strong schools are built through collaboration, transparency, and community trust. As a parent, professional, and lifelong member of this community, I’m committed to serving with integrity and ensuring Georgetown ISD continues to thrive.

I’m running for the Georgetown ISD school board to give back to the community that raised me. As a child in Georgetown ISD, my family experienced homelessness and poverty—challenges that were often invisible, but deeply real. What I could always count on was my school and my teachers, who showed up for me every day with care, stability, and belief, even without knowing what I was carrying. Their support changed the trajectory of my life. After achieving academic and professional success, I feel a responsibility to serve the community that served me. I believe in the power of schools to change lives, and I’m committed to ensuring every student—no matter their circumstances—has access to opportunity, dignity, and hope.
