I am firmly committed to leading our state toward practical policies that enhance the lives of ordinary Texans.  As a psychologist with a successful 30-year practice in Flower Mound and as an adjunct professor at NCTC, I work with regular people everyday.  I know and value the importance of protecting public education and teachers rights, preserving a woman’s right to choose, increasing sensible assault rifle legislation, expanding medical and mental healthcare access, addressing climate change to keep our planet livable, advancing equality of opportunity, and promoting individual rights.  I pledge to work cooperatively for the good of everyone in my district.
