TX-32: Genevieve Collins (R)
PROFILE
About Collins:
Genevieve Collins is a 7th Generation Texan. Her grandmother, Calvert Collins, was a trailblazer; the first woman elected to the Dallas City Council.
A graduate of SMU’s Cox School of Business and renowned local businesswoman, Collins was named one of 2018’s local 20 Under 40 for her work helping to turn around low-performing school districts and change students’ lives.
Collins founded the rowing team at her high school and, at the University of Tennessee, she placed 5th in the nation in the NCAA Championships – even with two dislocated ribs.
The head of corporate strategy at Istation, a leading education technology firm that helps students and teachers reach their academic goals using personalized learning to pinpoint every student’s exact reading and math ability, she has worked with school districts large and small across the country to bring a world-class education to all students regardless of where they live. As a public education advocate, her success brought her to Washington, D.C., where she proposed landmark education reforms directly to Vice President Pence.
