I graduated with distinction as a member of the Leadership Academy from C.E. Ellison High School right here in Killeen, Texas. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Duke University with a dual-major in French and International Comparative Studies and a minor in African and African American Studies. After falling in love with the Durham community, I continued my education at North Carolina Central University School of Law where I received my Juris Doctor with Honors. While I am a proud Cameron Crazy and Legal Eagle, the Central Texas community is important to me because this is home.

I currently live in Killeen, Texas with my husband John and our two children, Taliyah & Jasiri. For eight years, I served the Killeen community as a certified French, special education teacher, and a basketball coach at Killeen High School. As a former military dependent and Killeen native, I am keenly aware of the special circumstances that make this city without limits so unique, and I stand ready & able to serve my community as a practicing attorney.
