Prior to Merced, I worked for the City of San Antonio for 28 years, as well as the Alamo Area Council of Governments and the Head Start Program. Outside of work, I like finding adventures and learning experiences that enhance wellness, spirituality, and mindfulness. I attended St. Philips College and UTSA where I majored in Psychology. I graduated from the University of Phoenix with a bachelor’s in business management. My focus on “service to others” is how my work serves the Merced mission.
