I am former award-winning prosecutor, successful attorney, and proud mother of 4. I have devoted my life to making our city a stronger and safer place to live, work, and raise a family.

As a prosecutor, I helped victims and their families through difficult times to find justice, closure, and a path forward. I will focus on finding practical, actionable solutions to issues affecting us, not political grandstanding.

On council, I will strengthen our neighborhoods by supporting first responders who keep our families safe, lowering our property tax burden, and supporting the small businesses that help make Fort Worth a vibrant and exciting place to live.

I am an active volunteer for the Junior League of Fort Worth and have been for over a decade. I’ve served in leadership roles within the organization and volunteered with community nonprofits. I served on the Board of Directors for the Fort Worth Youth Orchestra. I was on the Executive Committee for the Oakhurst Neighborhood Association. I’m active in the Parent Teacher Association and the Site-Based Decision Making Committee for our local elementary school. I'm a member of the Texas Bar Foundation and Tarrant County Bar Foundation.
  • Public safety is critically important to the success of a city.
  • We must lower the tax burden on our residential property owners.
  • We must focus on smart economic development.
Crime. The city’s number one responsibility is for families to feel safe in their neighborhoods. This takes a holistic approach to investing in public safety, better community policing and developing programs that build better relationships between public safety and our neighborhoods.

As a former prosecutor, I have seen the worst of our communities and know what it takes to fight crime. If we aren't safe, we don't have anything. We cannot attract new business or lower our tax burden.
