I am a leadership coach and facilitator at Alamo Colleges District, where I help create, foster, and support a work environment where everyone can flourish purposely and contribute fully. I have over 25 years of experience in human resources management, employee relations, and leadership development.My career journey has been shaped by two values: leadership and service. I learned these values from serving in the US Army for 21 years, where I led and trained hundreds of pharmacy technicians and advised the senior enlisted leaders of the Army Pharmacy career field. I also applied these values at the Alamo Colleges District, where I worked with a great team of HR partners to serve and support over 5,000 employees across five colleges and several other locations. My purpose and mission are to continue to learn, lead, and serve others by meaningfully sharing the many lessons learned—with a curious mind, an open heart, a brave spirit, and purposeful action. I am passionate about helping others grow, thrive, and become the best version of themselves. I do this by using my strengths in developing, learning, arranging, empathy, and intellection, and by aligning with my top values of family, wellbeing, the pursuit of wisdom, service, and leadership.
