For almost twenty years, I have held a range of positions in the public and independent sectors as an educator and administrator as well as the non-profit industry. Before assuming the position as the Events and Development Coordinator, I was the Senior Director of a local non-profit working with individuals with autism. I served in many capacities as far as creating policies, lesson planning, donor relationship building and staff development. For over seven years, I worked side by side key community members to build long lasting relationships that have carried over to serve BEAR as well in the donor and support realm.
I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Education, and a Masters in Educational Leadership from Stephen F. Austin State University.
