Expand all | Collapse all

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I was raised in House District 64 and am a product of both the Denton Independent School District and the University of North Texas. I want to serve in Austin because HD 64 believes in public education and deserves a representative ready to fight to protect our public schools from the threat of private school vouchers and to strengthen our public schools by supporting students & teachers. My son is in the grade and I often work as a substitute teacher at his school. I've seen first hand the extraordinary work teachers are doing in classrooms all over HD 64 and I want to be the ally they deserve in Austin.

State government is a place we can gather together to set our community priorities and enact laws that help us all thrive. I want to be a representative for all because I know that great ideas for building our communities come from diverse places: young and old, wealthy and working class, PhDs, GEDs, and kiddos, suburbanites and country folks, and Denton and Wise Counties.

I currently serve on the Board of Directors for Interfaith Ministries, on the City of Denton Charter Review Committee, as a facilitator for 100 Dentonites Who Give a Damn, as a PTA mom, as the Destination Imagination Team Manager for my kiddo's team, and on the Children's Ministry and Church & Society Committees at First United Methodist Church Denton.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Private school vouchers will have a grave impact on Texas children and Texas teachers. I oppose any effort to remove funding from Texas public schools and any effort to use public funds to pay for private education because I believe in public education. Texas schools serve 5.4 million kids and our tax money and policy solutions should work to serve those children by strengthening the public school system, not divert precious resources into unregulated private schools. I believe the innovative educational programs families seek should be made available in public schools, accessed by all students. We are Texans- we can dream big. If we are committed to public education, we can to develop curriculum, train educators, and build our schools.
Texas must end its draconian abortion ban that is killing and harming Texas women. Day one, I will introduce a bill to repeal the ban and replace it with a law protecting women’s health and autonomy. Using abortion care should be a decision women make in consultation with their health care providers and families, not with their government representatives. In addition to the tragic health harms and invasions of privacy Texas women have endured since the law went into effect in 2022, the ban has caused other unintended damage to healthcare access in our state. We must end this heartless law and return health care decisions to women.
I want to take care of business in Austin for the people of HD64. I am ready to work with anyone, Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, to pass policies that improve the health, education, economics, and happiness of my district's citizens. With me in the seat for HD64, partisan politics and blind allegiance to party leadership will be left behind in favor of pragmatism and hard work. Lawmaking is a team sport and does not allow space for ideological zealots. I want to build bridges with colleagues of all political strips to get the job done for the folks of Denton and Wise Counties.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

These issues don't always make the headlines, but they are real passion projects for me. I want to reshape early childhood curriculum in our state. I would add public pre-kindergarten for every child, focus on the brain benefits of play and imagination in learning, increase recess time, and bring science and social studies back to the pre-K - 3 curriculum. For secondary students, I want to invest more state resources in career readiness programs and give attention and programing to non-college bound high school students. I want to introduce civics education as a core learning goal for pre-K - 12 grade education. I want to finally recognize the importance of adjunct faculty in higher education and pay them accordingly.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Constituent communication is the part of the job I am most excited about. I am a democracy nerd who deeply believes in the ideal that our elected representatives are in office to channel the needs of wants of their constituents into policy making, thereby creating communities that serve everyone. To make sure I always know what’s on my constituents’ minds, I will hold bimonthly listening meetings in my district, attend community events and activities, visit local businesses and organizations, visit schools, do door-to-door canvassing to meet folks where they are, and make sure constituent phone calls and letters are a top priority in my office.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Speaking as a Muggle who has a deep love for the wizarding world, I would want to be Luna Lovegood's best friend. I am sure if I was accepted to Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat would put me in Ravenclaw and I just know Luna and I would click on day one. I appreciate her open mind, her love for all living things, and her dedication to her friends and all that is righteous.
