With over 20 years of enlightened leadership responsibility within the Austin business community, I'm recognized as an innovative mentor with a diverse set of skills and talents in the areas of executive leadership and management, culture building, strategy development and execution, and community relations. I've championed SOX compliance initiatives, new system implementations, and business process improvement initiatives for several high-profile organizations including Dell Financial Services, Cypress Semiconductor, Blackbaud, and Ascension Seton. As a key member of Seton Health Alliance, as secretary to the Boards of Seton Accountable Care Organization, Inc., Seton Health Alliance, and Dell Childrenโs Health Alliance, I helped forge partnerships with health care professionals, patients, and national and community-based organizations to raise awareness of valuable healthcare programs. An accountant by trade and an advocate by choice, my volunteer commitment to the region is exceptional, having provided verifiable support to a wide range of local and national social service organizations. I've served on the Board of Directors and Finance Committee and was appointed Community Ambassador of Public Relations of the oldest non-profit in the area โ Austin Child Guidance Center. I've also served on the Board of Directors of Austin-based Soccer Assist. I've an A.S. in Business Administration, a B.S. in Accountancy, and an MBA. I'm also a graduate of the 2015 Emerging Leader Program from Seton Healthcare Family, and in March 2018 received a Public Relations Certificate of Completion. The status quo is not of interest but helping others live their best lives is a passion. I'm the Founder, Chief Business Officer, and Publisher of the multi award-winning InFluential Magazine, Spanish InFluential, and Teen InFluential. Each is published as a creative outlet for my trademark enthusiasm and energy for supporting people around the world to embrace the art of living well. In December 2018 I received a distinguished journalism award when I was named a 2018 Folio: 100 Honoree by Folio:. When I'm not making tremendous contributions to organizations throughout Texas, I can be found spending quality time with family and friends, practicing French, and enjoying photography with my awesome Sony camera.0
