Thank you to the leaders who shared their time & insight & elevated the conversation through respectful dialogue at @Ellevate_LA's 2026 LLC. @ReginaBarrow, @SpkrDeVillier, Sec. Bruce Greenstein, Sec. Michael Hare, Sec. James Lee, Sec. Susana Schowen, and Sen. Glenn Womack.

2/4/26 is a milestone in the fight against cancer: the #MCEDAct has been signed into law. Thanks to @SpeakerJohnson and @SteveScalise for passing this bill. Your leadership has modernized cancer screening, helping more cancers be found earlier, when treatment is more effective.

Excited to join @SocietyOfLACPA for a conversation on finance, leadership, service, and the belief that we can all make an impact. My journey from accounting to the legislature to community work has been full of growth and joy. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=Sjmx4y…

Thank you @BCBSLAFound for having me at your table for Breastoration’s annual Galatoire’s event. Ellevate member Kim Sport has been a force in building this effort, now a CALA project expanding statewide to support cancer patients. Grateful to be part of it.

I worry that we’re moving away from enlightenment values that form our country’s foundation. Reason over superstition, evidence over authority, & process thru science & education. How universities are addressing challenges to higher education, free speech youtu.be/27e5ncDhhiU?si…

SB182 is now law -- enacted as Act 440 of the 2025 LA Legislative Session. It suspends Medicaid prior auth during declared emergencies, ensuring timely care for cancer patients. Thank you to Sen. Talbot, Dr. Donald & 27 co-authors for championing this critical reform.

As a cancer survivor, I know early detection saves lives. The #MCEDAct will expand access to early cancer screenings, saving countless lives. @SpeakerJohnson @SteveScalise @SenJohnKennedy @SenBillCassidy, we need your leadership to get this done now!
