A Texas State University graduate with a degree in accounting, she has also pursued entrepreneurial ventures, co-founding companies like PIX Sports Gear. The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' gratitude for her contributions to the LGBTQ+ business community in Austin and extends best wishes for her future endeavors.
