A senior vice president with Ellen Terry, Realtors, Henda Salmeron came to the United States in 1991 from South-Africa with the American dream of success. She became a specialist in Dallas area real estate and a United States citizen in 2003. She lives in Lakewood with her husband and two kids, ages 10 and 12.
She is a recent Leadership Dallas graduate and served as president of the Lakewood Neighborhood Association and on various boards and committees. As a civic volunteer she has been involved in many grassroots efforts to improve her neighborhoods and city.
An almost 2 year breast cancer survivor, she has become an activist in the fight against breast cancer, particularly regarding dense breast tissue. Her personal journey and efforts to change the standard of care turned into a major victory when Governor Perry signed Henda’s Law on June 17th, 2011 in Austin. The bill will educate women and create awareness about their breast density, and that supplemental screening in addition to mammography may benefit them.
As an avid adventure traveler, ultra endurance athlete, scuba diver, amateur photographer and aspiring writer, Henda has traveled the globe to create a lifetime of memories, both under and above the water.
