Summary

With over 10 years of political campaign experience spanning local school boards to presidential elections, I bring a robust background in campaign strategy, legislative research, and grassroots management. As an Executive Director at one of Texas'; top political consulting firms, I have led the hiring, training, and management of senior staff and Quality Assurance Managers, overseeing teams that have managed hundreds of contractors. My role includes the development of cutting-edge systems to ensure campaigns met all performance metrics, while also coordinating closely with PACs, Capitol staff, and lobbyists on key Republican legislative priorities like the Texas abortion ban, property tax reform, and TRS/ERS reform. I’ve built strong relationships with key political players in Texas, including lawmakers and legislative staff, having hired and trained many who now serve as legislative directors and chiefs of staff. Skilled in SQL, media relations, and campaign management, I am well-equipped to take on any Capitol role, ensuring alignment between legislative priorities and future constituent outreach.
