Rep. Meza started her career as a student teacher at South Grand Prairie High School and taught at every level from elementary school to college. She also worked as a nonprofit director overseeing programs in economic development, small & minority business assistance, neighborhood revitalization, historic preservation, workforce development, and job placement. Before serving in the legislature, Rep. Meza operated her own solo law practice for almost 20 years.
In the 2023 legislative session, Rep. Meza served on the Environmental Regulation Committee, and the International Relations & Economic Development Committee.
