WHAT I DO

• Manage funding campaigns from start to finish.

• Add the Texas attitude, with a bit of Southern Charm, to the RDG diversity aspect.

 

WHAT I DID BEFORE I JOINED RDG …

• Worked for eight years in higher education – recruiting, counseling, teaching, and “brokering” student talent.

• Led employer relations efforts at TCU’s Neeley School of Business for the MBA population. Contributed to record setting statistics (student wins) for the program and earning a ranking of #24 in the world for the Career Center.

• Directed the strategy, and managed the day-to-day operations of all activities and functions for the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce’s Investor Relations / Membership department (5.2 mil in annual revenue).

• Met Rob and Mike during a campaign for the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce – so I understand the Chamber/EDC POV, and all the quirks of “Chamber Master.”

 

I WAS EDUCATED AT

• The University of Texas at Arlington, receiving my BA in Philosophy and 

         a minor in Political Science; graduated with honors (picture spending all your time in the library).

• Angelo State University, receiving an M.Ed. where one discovers

        how to run a higher educational institution as a business.

 

WHEN I’M NOT WORKING, YOU CAN FIND ME…

• Training for the next marathon

• Honing my Texas Hold ’em poker skills/strategy

• Wrangling my dogs (fur babies)

• On the water (lake, ocean, river, decently sized pond) surfing, sailing, or dipping my toes
