Growing up in a small farming community in Texas, I learned firsthand that the heartbeat of our economy lies in the small businesses, community organizations, and the community financial institutions that serve them. I observed my family and members of our community supporting each other to keep businesses open and thriving. They also spent their lives volunteering for organizations that shaped our small town and those around us. The goal was always to improve the quality of life for everyone. At that time, I didn't realize that fostering relationships and helping others leads to economic progress.As I look back on my career spanning over thirty years, I realize that I have followed the path laid down by my parents and family members before me. They taught me how to listen to business owners and organizations in my community and help individuals lead their daily lives. It is now clear to me that my passion for supporting the growth of communities has been the driving force behind my career.In the business world, I am a business matchmaker. I craft my own form of commerce by uniting needs with solutions and fostering connections between cultures and organizations to cultivate collaborative partnerships. My background includes financial services technology, government, regulatory compliance, fintech, digital banking, cybersecurity, blockchain, emerging currencies, human capital development, education, payments, and expanding solutions to underserved and marginalized populations. I am well-versed in developing and executing sales strategies, sales enablement, process re-engineering, and creating end-user experiences.I realized that my true worth and contribution to my community are not limited to my business endeavors. My true fulfillment comes from sharing and giving from my heart. As a small-town girl with big global aspirations, I firmly believe that everyone should be able to reach their full potential. My experience as the President of Kairos Digital Commerce Consulting, alongside Connie Davis, inspired us to embark on a journey toward establishing a non-profit foundation. We are now officially a non-profit Foundation where I am the co-founder, Board Chair, and Executive Director Strategic Leadership and Operations. We are dedicated to amplifying nonprofit’s ability to serve their communities. Our goal is to be a non-profit foundation for nonprofit organizations.Join our global movement for good, one non-profit at a time.
