Judy For Texas
From humble beginnings in Indiana, my loving parents instilled in me essential core values of integrity, compassion, responsibility, and humility. They exemplified a strong work ethic.
My dad’s family of farmers settled in America before the American Revolution. My grandparents on my mom’s side immigrated to the U.S. in the early 20th Century.
Ensuring a top-notch education was my parents’ mission for my sister and me. I received a B.A. with honors from Indiana University. I completed graduate studies in Community Health Administration and Media Education from the University of Cincinnati toward two Masters Degrees. Later in life I fulfilled my dream, receiving my Masters in Public Relations from George Washington University School of Political Management. While residing on the East Coast, I completed professional training at the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, the Fairfield University School of Performing Arts, and Video Associates in New York. As a certified functional aging specialist, I am committed to life long learning.
I founded my Media Communications Consulting Firm, Cutright Communications, L.L.C. in 1996, My firm assists global corporations, higher educational institutions, and non-profits in telling their story over various media platforms.

Family is my top priority. As a single Mom throughout my children’s formative school years, I am blessed with three loving, productive young adults who actively give back to their respective communities and to our country. My daughter, Angela, a graduate of Texas Tech, teaches elementary school. My son, David, graduated from Sam Houston State University and serves as Lt. Col. Battalion Commander for Army Special Forces. His twin brother, Simon, former Assistant U.S. Attorney, recently joined a private law firm in Tampa, FL. I am a proud Grandmother of six. The charm of a true Texas Gentleman lured me to Texas twenty years ago. Unfortunately he has now passed away and is dearly missed.
