I was born in New York and raised in Texas, where I still call home. My passion for youth empowerment and community engagement lights up my days, and I absolutely love building relationships and getting to know people. My career journey has been quite the adventure, leading me through various roles, including my time with Disney Cruise Line, the YMCA, and in the travel industry, all of which have shaped my diverse skill set.

With over 20 years of experience under my belt, I’m a self-motivated and goal-oriented professional who thrives on learning new things. My expertise spans project management, training, volunteerism, and contract negotiations, among other areas.

I’m also a Pampered Chef consultant with Ashley's Kitchen Collective, where I work to "Transform Your Kitchen & Nourish Your Soul" through meaningful connections around the table. There’s nothing quite like sharing great food and good company!

I’m all about creating opportunities for the next generation to shine because I believe that fostering skill development is key to making a positive impact. My commitment to community engagement drives me to jump into initiatives that uplift those around me, leaving a lasting mark wherever I go.

As a former Chair of the Black Alumni of SMU Alumni Board, I treasured the chance to support minority students and help my alma mater become a more welcoming place for individuals from diverse backgrounds.

I’m passionate about a variety of sports, including soccer (I’m a fan of just about every league), volleyball (both NCAA and AVP), softball (NCAA), football (NCAA and NFL), hockey (NHL), and, of course, basketball (NCAA). I thrive on the excitement of sports and love any activity that gets me outside and moving. Whether cheering from the sidelines or joining in on the action, you can count on me to bring the energy! I especially cheer loudly for my SMU Mustangs and my Quinnipiac Bobcats, and you can also catch me driving these Texas roads to see the Texas Longhorns play!

Last but definitely not least, I’m a proud mom to three incredible kiddos—Harper and Elijah, my spirited 5-year-old twins, and Harold, my curious and energetic 16-month-old. I’m also lucky to have my amazing partner, Antonio, by my side through it all!
