She serves on the board of Communities In Schools – Southeast Harris County, which provides resources and support to help students stay in school and succeed academically. She is also a board member of CYCLE (Changing Young Children’s Lives through Education), a nonprofit organization that motivates children to achieve their literacy goals by rewarding their academic success with bicycles.
