Meet the Team
The Board of Directors
Jesslyn Rodriguez, President
I'm the proud parent of ISLA Kindergartener. I have a background in business strategy, program management, and event production, in the marketing, technology, and education industries, specializing in process optimization and large-scale events. I'm passionate about giving back to my community and love bringing people together through collaboration and creativity. Outside of work, we enjoy spending time outdoors, sports, and traveling!
Kara Uche, Vice President
I have a son in 4th grade and two future Eagles-my 4-year-old and 1-year-old. I am a former teacher, turned stay-at-home-mom. Our family has been part of the Imagine Lone Star community since February 2024. I'm excited to start this PTO journey with everyone.
Lorie Burch, Treasurer
We are an excited new ILSIA family with an adorable daughter in kindergarten! We also have a 3 year old, a 15 year old, and a 20 year old! I am the owner and founding of attorney of Burch Law, a local 20 year law firm dedicated to helping families with Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, estate planning, and probate. Our family loves to be involved with our community and to help however we can. I'm looking forward to diving into learning more about the school and contribute to the ILSIA community!
Gissel Sebasigari, Secretary
I have a wonderful daughter in first grade at ILSIA. As a family, we love outdoor activities and enjoy exploring new places and cuisines!
I currently work as a grant writer and community engagement advisor for a nonprofit that supports unhoused veterans. I feel blessed to be a part of the nonprofit sector, and I find great fulfillment in using my skills to expand access to essential resources for those in need.
In that same spirit, I'm excited to be part of the ILSIA PTO and collaborate with a dedicated team to enhance the school experience for both our children and staff.
Kia Levels, Chair of Collaboration
Hello, I'm Kia Smith Levels. My husband and I have a daughter who is currently in her first year at Imagine. She is thoroughly enjoying kindergarten and making lots of new friends. When we're not at school, you'll likely find us spending weekends exploring Plano, Frisco, and McKinney, as we attend cheer, dance, and soccer activities with friends.
