She was Salutatorian of her class at Highland Park High School in Dallas, Texas, and a National Merit Scholar. After graduating with honors and a double major from Rice University, she was awarded a full-tuition scholarship to the Dedman School of Law at SMU; there, she won the 1L “Best Brief Award,” served on the staff of the SMU Law Review, and graduated with honors. She began her 15-year legal career at Baker Botts LLP and later spent six years as a federal court staff attorney. Five years ago, she began working at one of Texas's largest banks; she now serves as its general counsel. Best of all, she is the mother of a bright and beautiful eight-year-old daughter.
