My roots in Henry County go back to Henry County High School. I bought my first home and built a life here. I am a survivor of domestic violence and single mother. With the support of my neighbors, my church, and this community, I rebuilt my life and never looked back. I know what is at stake for the families I represent — because I have lived it.
I went back to school at night, while working full time and raising my kids, and became a first-generation college graduate at Mercer University in our district. I went on to earn a Master of Public Administration from Clayton State. I am now a law school student. I keep learning because the families I represent deserve a representative who never stops.
For more than 20 years, I have been a public servant— learning how justice works and where it falls short. My personal story, education and career prepared me.
And in my first term, I delivered. As a freshman legislator, I was named Vice Chair of the Women’s Legislative Caucus— Henry County’s seat at the table. I show up. I work hard. And I get results. I fought for my family. Now I'm fighting for yours.
