On the business side, I have served on the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and the Arlington Hispanic
Chamber of commerce boards and in various committees within those organizations. I was also a
founding board member of the Ft. Worth chapter of The Entrepreneur's Organization.
I graduated with Magna Cum Laude honors from St. Edward's University in Austin, TX. I majored in
Psychology and served as Vice President of the Psychology Association on campus. I also was accepted
into the Honors program my sophomore year and received the Dean's list recognition for every semester
