I was born and raised in Crowley, Louisiana. I am a lifelong resident of Louisiana where I attended Notre Dame High School in Acadia Parish. I then attended Louisiana State University where I graduated with a degree in History with a minor in Business. Next, I attended law school at Loyola University in New Orleans where I received a Juris Doctorate in Law. 
 

In 2010 I began practicing law in Crowley Louisiana, at the firm of Edwards, Stefanski & Zaunbrecher. Currently I am a partner in the firm where I have a general practice and focus on several different areas of the law with an emphasis on helping the community. Additionally, I am currently the Attorney for the Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Office and Acadia Parish Assessor’s office. 
 

In 2017 I was elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives to represent District 42.  I served on several committees as well as serving as the Chair of the House and Governmental Affairs Committee from 2021-2024. Additionally, I was a member of the State Bond Commission, Capital Security Council and House Select Leadership Committee. In 2024 I did not seek re-election.
