    I work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's liaison to the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation. I am the project officer for the cooperative agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Foundation. I also work closely with a wide range of government and private industry partners in the boating and fishing industries. I worked closely with influential members of the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation's Board of Directors to serve as a catalyst for the renewed efforts to increase marketing and outreach to the Hispanic community. In particular, I connected former head of the U.S. Census Bureau, Dr. Steve Murdock, with leaders of the National Marine Manufacturers Association and also the American Sportfishing Association. As a result of this, the "Vamos A Pescar" marketing program was initiated by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation. (My junior high school, high school, and university Spanish teachers would be proud!). In addition, I worked with RBFF staff members to arrange a national live webinar that was hosted by Discovery Education at our U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. This is one of flagship national wildlife refuges and is supported by one of the most successful friends group, the Ding Darling Society, of any refuge. Finally,I alerted former RBFF staff member Christine Dobday about the need to assess the on-line fishing license programs used by state fish and wildlife agencies.

As the liaison, I oversee and administer the Service's cooperative agreement to RBFF for their implementation efforts with the National Outreach and Communications Program. This program provides federal funding for efforts to promote boating and recreational fishing throughout the country. This program helps ensure our continued conservation efforts because fishing license fees and excise taxes on fishing equipment and boating fuels taxes are the primary sources of funding for state fisheries agencies conservation programs.

    Human Dimensions Specialist
    Texas Parks And Wildlife Department 1992 - 2002

In addition, I assisted the agency's Boating Law Administrator with the state's Recreational Boating Safety Program. I was a member of the agency's Planning Section. The agency at that time was a recognized leader in its comprehensive planning efforts for fish and wildlife conservation. The agency was one of only 4-5 in the country with the federally recognized status as a "Comprehensive Planning" option with its federal funds. During my tenure with the agency, I identified significant internal administrative issues associated with compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
