Hi, I'm Cristina Neria, a proud second-generation Dallas native and Lake Highlands High School graduate (Class of '98). Growing up in this wonderful community, I attended Forest Meadows Junior High and Skyview Elementary School.

With over 20 years of community involvement, I've enjoyed serving as a small business owner of a residential construction company that I established in my mid 20’s and at the present time I’m with the Sheriff's Department. When I'm not serving, you can find me cooking up a storm or traveling to Mexico to visit loved ones.

But my greatest joy is being a mother to my four incredible young adults. My oldest, a fellow Lake Highlands alum (Class of 2017), makes me especially proud! Now, I'm excited to take on a new challenge as a candidate for the Richardson ISD School Board Trustee Single Member District 5. I'm passionate about making a positive impact on our children's future and working with parents. With my diverse skills, experience, and commitment to service, I believe I'd be a valuable asset to my District. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to help shape the future for our kids and our schools.

I fully support Cristina's commitment to improving our schools and ensuring a better future for students.

One sign prominently reads '#ENOUGH' while others display messages like 'Teacher for Gun Reform' and 'Guns don't kill people... yes they do!'. The scene takes place in an urban setting with buildings in the background.
