I was raised in Tyler, Texas in a big, crazy, and fun family. My parents were huge Notre Dame fans and I too became one, leaving Texas to head to South Bend, Indiana where I majored in Marketing and Arabic at the University of Notre Dame. But, ever since high school, I had always had a desire to go into law enforcement. After college, I volunteered at an orphanage in South Africa and loved it, then later applied to the Austin Police Department. I started my career in law enforcement in 2014 with APD. While in the department, I patrolled the southwest region of Austin, worked on a specialized team that served felony warrants on dangerous criminals and was also a part-time member of the SWAT team. I met my husband in middle school, and we dated off and on for 15ish years before finally getting married and becoming pregnant. After 7 years in the police force, I decided to switch careers so that I not only had a safer career, but also one that allowed more quality time with my family. I recently gave birth to our second daughter, and we are loving the new addition to our family! I have always been passionate about serving others, and I am excited to assist the people in my community in navigating the complex world of real estate!

Alina was an integral part in establishing sales territories for private entities which resulted in new trade offices promoting trade within targeted countries. This initiated the start of building professional relationships between buyers, private businesses, government agencies, and foreign clientele. While living in Thailand over 3 years, Alina was fortunate to have held positions where she was able to assist government and non- profit organizations, igniting her desire to help people wherever she could. This led to working with the US Embassy and International Rescue Committee developing programs for special caseload refugees in the United States, for better quality of life. Alina was strategic in assisting the logistic liaison using diplomacy and professional negotiations between caseload refugees and all caseworkers involved with U.S. Resettlement, based on Homeland Security criteria and standards. While this experience helped many refugees, it also required Alina to handle highly confidential information with professional personnel. Alina also acted as liaison between the Asian Forum Parliamentarians on Population and Development (AFPPD) and Central Asian Parliaments, and related parties.
