~ famous Chinese proverb
I am a born and raised Texan and a veteran educator of almost 30 years, all within the North East Independent School District (NEISD) in San Antonio. I was the principal of three very different schools, ranging from 10% to over 90% economically disadvantaged, granting me the privilege and opportunity to lead schools through navigating an enormous variety of victories and challenges. I am appreciative of NEISD and the many employees who helped me throughout my years working for the district.
I have a passion for teaching and empowering others while creating a productive, safe, and meaningful environment where students can learn to the best of their ability. My specialty is in developing systems to improve instruction, morale, and community involvement. I strive to inspire other leaders to be and do better.

John Hinds was a great in the moment coach when he supported me in my new role as a campus principal. He not only got to know me well but made strong connections with the rest of my leadership and campus staff. Students knew who he was and his systems were tailored to my campus needs therefore helping all involved succeed.
Diana Barrera Ugarte
Former Superintendent
Kenedy ISD
​The result was clear: significant growth in both our leaders and teachers, which directly contributed to improved student achievement. For a small district like ours, John and his team were essential in mining our data and bridging internal gaps. They also served as exceptional thought partners, particularly with our special education support services.
