While working as Field Engineer in the IT (Information Technology) industry, I worked diligently to ensure the needs of the clients were met and I will be able to do the same as Texas State Representative District 87. I have extensive experience in problem solving and troubleshooting to address immediate or future problems by looking at all areas of the problem and developing comprehensive solutions. My leadership skills have been honed by leading or being involved in several boards where I worked collaboratively with others and have had productive discussions despite differing opinions at times.
