My career as an attorney began when I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Tarleton State University with a Bachelors in Business Administration and subsequently earned my Juris Doctorate Degree with honors at the University of Houston. As I believe that a career in the legal field requires a constant desire to learn, I have continued to pursue further education by becoming Board Certified in Criminal Law, Certified to try capital murder cases, and a Certified mediator in both general and family law. I have served two terms as Chair of the State Bar Grievance Committee, a position in which I was nominated by the State Bar Directors to review ethics complaints against attorneys and determine whether further disciplinary action is required. I am currently still a member of this Grievance Committee.
