Asking questions is the best part of my job. You know, the kinds of questions that leave my proposal teammates speechless and thinking about how to they can better serve their clients. I work with our region’s most talented engineers, and my job is to translate their passion for innovative problem-solving and trusted leadership into client-focused marketing communications. I own the tools and skills to craft strategic messages that help clients easily recognize the value of a service-based relationship with my employer, Freese and Nichols. I have been a recognized and sought-after manager for hundreds of qualifications-based proposals and shortlist interviews since 2004, especially for strategic, must-win pursuits for key clients. I also manage the best practices and business development training programs for our marketing and technical staffs.My writing's not too shabby either; the Mayborn Nonfiction Literary Conference and the Texas School Public Relations Association have recognized my writing with their top awards, and I co-authored a case study in a recent public relations textbook.I value the leadership, focus and culture that have earned Freese and Nichols the Malcolm Baldrige Award. A former member of the Water Environment Association of Texas, I served on the Asset Management Committee, providing support in webinars, magazine articles and as a moderator at Texas Water. I also was a member of WEAT’s Philanthropy Committee that supports Water for People.
