I was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I am the eldest child, the eldest grandchild, and the eldest great-grandchild on both sides of my family, a role that shaped me into a leader long before I fully understood what leadership meant. Being the eldest taught me responsibility, initiative, and how to think a few steps ahead.

Service was woven into my upbringing. My mother worked for AmeriCorps, and my father served as a police officer. From them, I learned that community is not just where you live, it is what you invest in. They showed me that leadership is not about recognition, it is about showing up.

Professionally, I work as a Business Analyst, which means I solve problems for a living. I naturally look at systems, processes, and outcomes and ask, “How can this work better for people?” That same lens draws me to civic engagement because our democracy is also a system, and it requires informed, active participants to function well.

The League of Women Voters of Houston is important to me because it creates meaningful pathways toward a more equitable and just society. The League protects and promotes our constitutional rights while ensuring voters are educated and empowered.

In a time when misinformation can spread quickly and civic fatigue is real, the League stands as a trusted, nonpartisan voice. That commitment to informed participation resonates deeply with me. It aligns with both my personal values and my professional belief that good decisions come from good information.

In 2025, I was selected to participate in the Rising Stars program, where my group focused on addressing the Heat Island effect in Houston. Through research, discussion, and community engagement, including volunteering at the Alief Community Garden, we explored how environmental inequities impact everyday life and how policy can improve this. 

I also support voter registration efforts, helping ensure more Houstonians have access to the ballot. There is something powerful about helping someone register to vote. It is not just paperwork. It is participation, ownership, and voice.

My favorite part of working with the League of Women Voters of Houston is the people and the impact. I have met thoughtful, passionate individuals who care deeply about civic engagement and democratic participation. There is something energizing about being in spaces with people who believe informed citizens strengthen communities.

I also appreciate knowing that the League’s work is powerful. It may not always be loud, but it is steady, trusted, and deeply influential. From voter registration to the Houston Voters Guide, the League shapes informed participation in ways that truly matter.

The League reminds me that advocacy does not always have to be dramatic to be meaningful. Sometimes real power looks like education, conversation, and consistent commitment.

This election year feels especially important as we see record early voter turnout in Harris County and across Texas. Moments like this highlight how crucial the League’s work truly is.

The Houston Voters Guide continues to help people make informed choices, and I am excited to contribute to efforts that strengthen civic literacy and encourage participation. When people feel confident about their vote, they are more likely to use it, and that ripple effect matters.

I believe civic engagement is a form of everyday leadership. When we educate ourselves and others, when we show up, and when we vote, we exercise our power.

My hope is that through the work of the League, more people recognize the power they already hold.
