Enthusiastic and driven leader equipped with the skills to identify potential and drive personal and professional development in myself, others, and an organization. As Brené Brown states, "I define the leader as anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential."As the FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) Team Director at Texas State University, I have successfully managed five talent, providing consistent coaching to work towards the goals established in our organizational strategy. Skilled in leadership development, recruitment, administration, communication, mentorship, and fundraising and development. I find great joy in celebrating the little and big successes with my team, as well as accompanying my teammates and those whom we serve in learning to leverage their strengths. My Bachelor's in Therapeutic Recreation from the University of Tennessee was the first kindling that ignited my desire to work towards developing the potential in others and improving the quality of life for all. Off the clock, you can find me getting lost on a new trail in the great outdoors or developing my potential as a gluten-free baker (may occasionally show up at work with the finished product).
