My philosophy is, "Through a meeting of the minds, we build together…and we win together.” I’ve managed the CAMMI PROGRAM of real-time critical language translation supporting the war fighter for CounterTerrorism and high risk public health intervention projects for the State of Texas that led to a transition from programmatic research roles to leading Sponsored Programs at an HBCU and an HSI in the Research Administration industry. Now I facilitate the advancing of critical STEM research in the federal contracting space through collaborations with industry and academe.I’ve led a global life from the Pacific to the Middle East to Latin America and Asia with fluency in Spanish, Portuguese and English.
