Choose to Succeed is a nonprofit organization working to attract the nation’s best public charter schools to San Antonio, and support and grow them once here. Our mission is to ensure that every family has access to exceptional, tuition-free public education options.

I lead growth and expansion for IDEA Public Schools, one of America's fastest-growing and highest performing non-profit public charter school organizations. By Fall 2022, IDEA will serve nearly 85,000 students across 11 regions in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and Ohio. In the process, IDEA will transform educational expectations and outcomes in hundreds of communities, and for tens of thousands of families.

I directed the K-12 education program at The Philanthropy Roundtable, a national association of nearly 700 individual philanthropists, generous families, and charitable foundations.

I led four sections of English and Western History at Qingdao University of Science and Technology, a university located in Shandong Province.

I taught high school social studies in Zuni, New Mexico, where I also coached football and co-led the college success program.
