Over 20 years of experience in politics and government, specializing in grassroots, fundraising, marketing, networking, and outreach initiatives where I have worked for political candidates and/or elected in all three levels of government. I am proud to say that over half of the candidates I have worked for have gone on to run for President of the United States. In 2020, I shifted gears to use my skills to advocate for active-duty military, veterans, and their families and help break down the barriers that cause them to not live their best lives. Currently, I am serving thousands of constituents all across North Texas, from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to the Panhandle, while assisting in other areas around the state. Additionally, I am skilled in planning/managing events, leading teams, fundraising development, budgets, project management, and community collaboration.During my time with the Veterans Land Board, I have been able to reach veterans in historical numbers through the marketing campaign I created called Together We Serve. I have used this campaign to create events targeting military members all across North Texas, such as the family days events I planned in September 2022 at the Grand Prairie Armed Forces Reserve Complex, where Reservists from ten different Army and Marine Reserves Units were provided resources and employment opportunities. In June 2024, I co-hosted one of the largest military resource events for veterans at a VA Hospital Clinic to date, where over 1200 services were provided to Veterans in need. My mission is to build relationships and make connections that change lives for the better in our military and veterans. My previous experience in grassroots politics has allowed me to connect with our nation's heroes on levels most people will not seek out or understand. I use my voice and platform to help provide a wide variety of solutions and raise awareness of issues within the military community. I am a proud sister-in-law of an active-duty Army soldier and granddaughter of a WWII Army Corps Veteran who flew with the Fighting Tigers. 2024 T.
