  BIO

Personal Profile

Joining the United States Air Force at 19 gave me a unique perspective on maturity and established a solid foundation of essential skills. After my military service, I began my career at AT&T, gaining valuable business experience.

I developed skills in:

  • managing people

  • creating multi-year business plans

  • trending analysis

  • work driver tracking

  • negotiating with peers and with executive levels

 

These skills were enhanced after joining Toastmasters by increasing my ability to communicate and to lead.  Matched with the discipline, commitment and dedication needed to be successful in competing in triathlons, I became more well-rounded.  

​

Why Now?

Now it is time to take on my next challenge as International Director. I have worked diligently to build the right combination skills: Toastmaster - Triathlete - Business Professional. Alone these skills are strong, but combined they are unparalleled.  I am fully prepared to tackle the upcoming challenges our organization will face and to contribute to building innovative solutions that will enhance our strength.
