Occupation:  Policy Analyst. I work for a department of the Texas House of Representatives called House Research Organization. During the legislative session we write reports that include brief summaries of bills, including supporters and opponents arguments. During the interim we write about hot policy topics. My policy areas are water, energy, electricity, agriculture, land and resource management, state parks, and transportation.

I am currently writing a report on the drought with a focus on increasing the state's water resources through desalination and the storage of surplus water in aquifers.

What occupies your days?  Lately, it has been this reunion!!

In my normal life, I spend my week at work writing and doing research. At home I try to be the best wife and friend I can be to my husband, Brad, and the best mom I can be to my too small kids, Gabe and Gillian. Before kids I had never been very domestic or maternal, but the day I became a mom I was all in!

Currently Reading: Dracula by Bram Stoker

Hobbies:  Cooking, photography, painting, drawing, and writing.

Philanthropy or special cause: I really should do more of this. My only real activity comes around once a year. Every Christmas at work I help with the Speaker's office to organize gifts for kids that are under the care of child protective services. I mainly focus on the kids that are about to age out of the system and need things to start an apartment, etc.

Favorite High School Memory: Wow, there are so many! I guess one of my favorites was the night before our first day of school as seniors. There was a lighting at the school. So many of our classmates were there. We were all so excited!

Favorite motto or saying:  "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." - James Dean

I don't know who said it, but I have always liked, "Courage doesn't always roar."
