Kendra is a public servant through and through. She worked for years as a public educator before transitioning to Harris County, where she leads economic development and partnership engagement. As a parent of a current CFISD student, she cares deeply about the effectiveness of our schools, and she believes better communication and decision-making can help ensure that all voices are heard and that policies serve the greater good of the entire district. 

"I'm an advocate, educator, and parent who believes in strong schools, open communication, and putting students first. Our community deserves a board that listens, leads with transparency, and works for everyone — students, staff, and families," says Kendra.

Kendra's top priorities include safety, fiscal responsibility, and teacher and student success.
