Advocating for League City
Committed to balanced leadership and community advocacy, I am dedicated to serving our League City residents with integrity and professional dedication.
Born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, I have always known that the coast is life! I moved to League City in 2009 after living in Galveston for four years.
My leadership mindset is that of someone who gets involved. I am a member of the Junior League of Galveston County, currently serving as Finance Vice President. I am a member of the Rotary Club of Galveston Island, where I am the Interact Chair. I am also a volunteer advocate for CASA of Galveston County, where being a voice for children is one of the most rewarding roles in my volunteer work. I am also a member of the Sam Houston Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Small Government
Years of data and research experience coupled with a never-ending passion for learning allows me to quietly lead, encourage the ideas of others, and steer diverse groups to collectively beneficial and mutually agreeable decisions and actions.
Against Increased Surveillance
Primary concerns regarding license plate readers are privacy, misuse, and the lack of public input. A perimeter-based system to monitor entry and exit points may be appropriate if securely managed.
Support Small Business
League City is full of entrepreneurs and we could do more to support small businesses and bring together their vision with economic development goals.
Stay Connected
I will champion the efforts of our trusted city staff, strengthen communication with residents, and engage with residents year-round.
Where I stand...
Forever Learning
My commitment to League City is rooted in a dual mission of advocacy and continuous learning. I believe that effective leadership requires a deep understanding of our community's unique needs and a relentless pursuit of knowledge to find innovative solutions for our shared future.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in marine biology from Texas A&M University at Galveston. WHOOP!
Later, I received a Master of Science degree in library science from the University of North Texas. Finally, I completed a Master's degree in business administration from the University of Houston Downtown.
I am a forever learner and prioritize thoughtful discussion to achieve greatness.
