      President

      Lobbyist before the Mississippi Legislature. I jokingly tell people I am a member of the 4th branch of government. This would be the branch that focuses on your issues - whether you're a Fortune 500 company, a non-profit association or foundation, a local government, or a company or group trying to navigate through the complex legal statutes to do business in Mississippi, your issues deserve careful consideration at the Mississippi Capitol. When there are over 4,000 bills introduced during a legislative session, you need an experienced lobbyist who can successfully negotiate your issues through the process. MISSISSIPPI BUSINESS JOURNAL's “Top 50 Businesswomen in Mississippi" - the first contract lobbyist selected; and “Top 40 Under 40” award for business achievements.
