I am a ninth generation Texan, wife, and mom of four who is compelled by my faith and service to my community to be a proactive voice for my district in Austin. My passion for Texans and the future generation led me to effectively advocate for my children and families in the regular legislative session. I now focus on servicing in an official capacity as State Representative for District 55 in Bell County, prioritizing issues that affect all Texans: border security, education, and lower cost of living.

I received a BA from Baylor, and an MA from Boston University. I speak Spanish and taught English in Mexico. I was a Crisis Pregnancy Center Mentor for 10 years, a member of Central Texas Republican Women, The Vice President for the local Daughters of the Republic of Texas group, and served as PTA Vice President for 2 years.
