I currently chair the Arlington Finance and Audit Committee as well as the Arlington Housing Finance Committee. I am also a Council member of the Texas Health Resource Leadership Committee as well as a member of the NAACP.
I am known as the Go-To person to get the job done. I have a proven history of keeping my word and providing the action needed to get things done in what ever position that I am in.
My background in public relations makes it easy for me to form strong community relationships that benefit my district . For example I have been able to form a strong relationship with our Police to continue to make sure we work on safer neighborhoods in my district.
I come from a strong Veteran family and work in Healthcare which shows in my strong support of first responders as well as Veterans.
Doing my time in office I have worked with both Police and Fire for better funding as well as worked to implement a Veterans Resource Center.
I have also spearheaded the installation of 2 Pedestrian crossings and 1 traffic light in District 3 in heavy traffic areas which have reduced accidents in these areas.
Since I have been in office District 3 has had a record number of Townhalls and Neighborhood meetings to make sure the voices of District 3 are heard.
- Let's keep making our neighborhoods a priority
- Known for being the go- to person to get the job done!
- Leadership that can be trusted to keep our neighborhoods safe.
As a City Council Member, I have been able to take my people skills to help residents with their issues by listening and finding solutions to help.
