I began my private-sector career in crisis customer service, where tensions are already high before you even begin trying to solve a problem. As a corporate trainer, I developed strong communication and interpersonal skills. As project manager for a major telecommunications company, I managed expansive IT projects, a high-stress position that required crystal clear communication and effective management of diverse teams and large budgets.
For 15 years, I paused my career to stay home and raise my children. I knew I wanted to work in the public sector when I went back to work — specifically, in government. In preparation, I went back to school to seek a degree in government and public health. In 2018, I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with an honors degree in health and society — essentially, public health and sociology — and a minor in government.
After graduating, I went to work as district director for State Representative John Bucy,. This role puts a premium on skills such as communication, problem solving, and inclusion. I love that I get to work for the community in which I live.
- Modernize the court so that it better serves the folks of Precinct 2. Tools such as Zoom, and staggered hours allow people to interact with the court in a more efficient and less intrusive manner.
- Create more diversion programs for both adult and minor Class C misdemeanors and minor truancy cases. Our youth deserve the best chance to finish high school and become productive members of society. Instituting educational program to address underlying causes of truancy is a top priority for me.
- Treat all who enter the court fairly and with respect. Customer service has been an integral part of every job I have had. Coming to court can be frustrating and scary. My court and staff will provide exceptional customer services and treat all with dignity and respect.
I share their belief in putting community first and I work with people across the aisle all the time at both state and local levels to serve our neighbors. I’ve taken the time to build relationships with leaders across not only PCT 2, but all of Wilco in order to ensure that I can serve our community in the best way. As the next JP, I can assure you that not only I, but also my staff, will always take a community first approach.
