I have a 30-year history as a Division I head women's basketball coach where I learned the art of leadership as well as great experience as a fundraiser. Here at New Mexico State University I have 9 years of higher education development experience with the College of Arts and Sciences and now the College of Engineering. I have raised more dollars than any other college at the University during this span (at A&S) . From 2018 to 2020 (16 months) I served as Interim VP for University Advancement- I supervised 10 development officers as we successfully completed a $125 million cash and pledge campaign- the first of its kind at NMSU. June 1, 2022 I became the Director of Development in the College of Engineering.
