Audra's Leadership Principles
1. Take Ownership
I take full responsibility for my work, decisions, and impact. I think long-term, prioritizing sustainable success over quick fixes. I step up to support the entire organization, not just my immediate responsibilities. I never say, “That’s not my job,” because leadership is about collective success, not individual roles.2. Innovate and Simplify
I believe in continuous innovation and finding better ways to serve students, teachers, and families. I challenge outdated systems, seek creative solutions, and simplify processes to enhance efficiency. I stay open to new ideas, even if they come from outside my field, and embrace change—even when it’s uncomfortable.3. Never Stop Learning
I am committed to lifelong learning and personal growth. I seek out knowledge, challenge my own assumptions, and remain curious about new possibilities. I embrace a growth mindset, knowing that learning never stops, and I model that for those around me.4. Set and Maintain High Standards
Excellence is a non-negotiable. I set ambitious goals for myself and others, continually raising the bar. I believe that high expectations drive high performance, and I refuse to accept mediocrity. When problems arise, I address them at the root to ensure lasting solutions.5. Think Boldly
Small thinking leads to small results. I embrace a visionary mindset, always looking ahead and seeking opportunities to innovate. I challenge limitations, push boundaries, and inspire others to see what’s possible beyond the present reality.6. Take Decisive Action
Leadership requires decisiveness. While I value thoughtful planning, I also recognize that hesitation can be a barrier to progress. I trust my judgment, take calculated risks, and move forward with confidence, knowing that most decisions can be adjusted if needed.7. Earn Trust Through Integrity
Trust is the foundation of strong leadership. I listen with intention, communicate openly, and treat others with respect. I hold myself accountable, acknowledge mistakes, and continuously strive to improve. I measure my success not just by my own standards but against the highest benchmarks.8. Speak Up, Then Commit
I believe in respectful disagreement and healthy debate. I challenge ideas with conviction when necessary, even when it’s uncomfortable. However, once a decision is made, I commit fully, ensuring its success through collaboration and dedication.9. Deliver Meaningful Results
Impact matters. I stay focused on what truly drives success—student growth, teacher empowerment, and organizational excellence. I do not let obstacles define outcomes. I rise to challenges with resilience, ensuring that every action contributes to lasting success. -

Celebrating 30 Years in Education
This year marks a meaningful milestone—30 years in education. What began as a passion for music and teaching orchestra has grown into a lifelong mission to support students, empower teachers, and lead school communities toward excellence.In my most recent role as Senior Executive Director for Houston ISD, I had the honor of overseeing 85 campuses, including 17 high schools, serving over 48,000 students and nearly 5,000 instructional staff, with a $272M budget. My leadership touched every corner of K–12 education: teaching and learning, human resources, SPED and Section 504, facilities and operations, CCMR, technology, finance, and wraparound services.
Previous Leadership Roles
- Highland Park ISD: Director of Academic Support and Curriculum and Instruction
- Lovejoy ISD: High School Associate Principal, Director of Fine Arts, Secondary Principal
- Dallas ISD: Secondary Magnet School Principal
- Little Elm ISD: Secondary Principal
My Leadership Philosophy
- Every child deserves an experience second to none.
- Effective teachers are the most powerful force in student success.
- Community and parent partnerships are essential to thriving schools.
- The student experience must always come first.
- All behavior is communication—every action tells a story.
Outside of work, I’m incredibly proud of my family. My wife, Mary, teaches orchestra in Prosper ISD, and we’re raising three amazing kids—Genevieve, Leo, and Brandon—who keep our lives full of joy, energy, and purpose. Mary and I continue to perform as professional musicians, and as a family, we love to camp, explore, and make memories together.
I lead with purpose and passion, grounded in the belief that principled leadership transforms lives. Let’s connect and collaborate to build schools where every student thrives.
