about

For almost 27 years, I’ve been proud to call Southlake my home. My husband and I have raised three amazing Dragons and embraced the undeniable sense of community, involvement, and belonging that’s unique to our city. I have seen our small town grow, change, and evolve into the incredible community we are today. As your Place 1 Councilwoman, I will continue to play an integral role in ensuring that our great city stays rooted in its past while moving into the future. 

For me, that means putting Southlake residents first, fighting to protect and preserve both our green spaces and way of life and focusing on the issues that are so important to us all. As residents, we share a desire to live in a community that echoes the best traditions of a small town.

My promise to you is this: I will listen to your needs and concerns and I will make mindful, well-thought out decisions that affect our way of life. I take that promise seriously and it comes straight from my heart.  

 

I believe I have the experience, integrity, and commitment needed to continue serving the people of Southlake. My longtime service to the Southlake community has given me a unique perspective to be an advocate for all residents.
