With over 20 years of experience in governmental and public affairs, I am a seasoned leader and strategist in the energy industry. As the former Director of Governmental and Public Affairs at Atmos Energy, I managed the company's advocacy efforts at the federal, state, and local levels, as well as oversaw the communication and outreach initiatives with various stakeholders and communities. I have a proven track record of building and maintaining strong relationships with policymakers, regulators, media, customers, and industry partners and influencing positive outcomes for the company's interests and objectives. I also have a strong background in business administration, having completed my MBA from the University of Dallas in 2022. Some of my key competencies include strategic communications, government relations, lobbying, policy analysis, crisis management, and stakeholder engagement. I am passionate about advancing the energy sector's role in delivering safe, reliable, and affordable services to the public, and supporting the company's vision of being the safest provider of natural gas in the nation. I am always eager to learn from and collaborate with diverse and talented teams, and contribute to the company's growth and success.
