Biography

After attaining my degrees from St. Mary’s University, I embarked on a career in public service that has spanned over 30 years. I currently serve as the Executive Director for Administration and Financial Services for the Edwards Aquifer Authority, a political subdivision for the State of Texas, where I manage all administrative functions that include finance, budgeting, human resources, building services, and information technology. Prior to the EAA, I served as Director of Human Resources for Angelo State University and Benefits Manager/Director of Civil Service for the City of Plano, TX. In these positions, I led the development and implementation of various programs that contributed to the success of these organizations and augmented workplace culture through fostering entrepreneurial programs vis-à-vis operational initiatives, technological advancements, financial stewardship; and fostering organizational critical thinking through employee training & development, compensation, and employee benefits enhancements. My public service career has brought rewards and challenges that I never anticipated, but I know that the foundation and core values I gained at St. Mary’s have been instrumental both my career and personal life. As Adjunct Professor, I hope to pass on some of these experiences to the next generation of professionals.
