She inspires and motivates me to not only be a better person, but to be a better friend, neighbor, and citizen. Without her, I would not have been able to achieve many of my professional accolades. To date, one of my most exciting professional accomplishments was being able to represent the citizens of Tarrant County as an Assistant Criminal District Attorney for the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office. I was a prosecutor for almost a decade and had the opportunity each day to provide justice for many citizens in Tarrant County when they found themselves victims of crime. Although at times I often saw the worst of our community, I also witnessed the good and how we rally together as a community to protect one another. My time as a prosecutor came with a sense of pride and honor to represent my community in court. While I no longer represent the State of Texas in court, I still fight the good fight each day for people who have found themselves injured through no fault of their own.
