One of my children has unique healthcare needs and a rare genetic disorder. I am driven by my desire to protect her and her siblings and to ensure a better future for all children. Throughout my journey as a special needs advocate, I traveled across the country to find the best care for my daughter and have volunteered with various organizations, including TACA, Team TMR, Generation Rescue, and MAMMA.
In 2015, I began political advocacy at the state level as one of the founders of Texans for Vaccine Choice. I found myself at the Capitol almost daily during that year's session, knocking on every door, testifying at hearings, and cultivating relationships with Senators and Representatives.
More recently, I have become active in school board issues in Round Rock ISD and Leander ISD (the two districts within the redrawn HD 136) - speaking at board meetings about matters crucial to the health and safety of our teachers, students, and staff.- Improve public education
- Create safer communities
- Lower property taxes
