Beyond the homestead, I'm a driven business owner and accomplished REALTOR (currently inactive) with Triangle Realty. My academic journey led me to an MBA from West Texas University and a bachelor's degree from Texas Tech, where I crossed paths with my husband, JT. Our shared love for Texas Tech keeps us actively engaged as alumni, with my husband serving on Texas Tech committees and our son likely to follow in our footsteps.
In the political arena, I'm an ardent conservative and lifelong Republican. I chair Randall County Republican Precinct #309 and was a state convention delegate in Summer '22. I also contribute my time and efforts to important legislative priorities within the Texas GOP.
Outside of politics, our family runs cattle and farms in the Texas Panhandle. My community involvement includes roles in organizations like Texas Ed 9/11, Grassroots America, and High Plains Republican Women. I'm also a dedicated supporter of local businesses and a charitable giver to causes close to my heart, including my church, Hope Choice, colleges, and Rope for a Cure.- Secure The Border
- Protect Local Control
- Elevate Education & Protect Texas Children
Local leaders understand the concerns and issues of the community better than any elected official in Austin. We must stop the unfunded mandates and restore power to local governments who are more connected with the community.
Upholding Christian and family values, I champion elevated education standards and parental choice. I staunchly support grassroots initiatives, amplify citizen voices, endorse religious freedom, and back law enforcement and first responders. Furthermore, my unwavering commitment lies in ensuring election integrity, as it is the cornerstone of a fair and just democratic process, vital for preserving the trust of our citizens in our democratic institutions.
