My Story
I think it is important for you to know some basic background on my credentials and philosophy of life. It is also important for potential clients to know that I have experienced the hectic rat race of being an executive in the corporate world and that I have the tools and support to help you plan, manage, track, and succeed in your life and career. I have a strong faith in the goodness of people and that everyone innately has the ability to deal with and solve their own challenges but often times need a guide. That is where I come in. You already know what you want and how to achieve it. My role is to supply you with the tools to reach your success destination with clear and concise steps to follow.
My 20 years of experience are in health education, nutrition, wellness, leadership development and motivation. I am also a certified Life Coach and a certified Health Education Specialist. God blessed me with a multi-dimensional career and has given me the opportunity to work in a number of business settings. These include public school, university, corporate, and health care. My professional opportunities have included product development coordinator and director of health education curriculum for a health education product corporation, Assistant VP, responsible for education, women's health, marketing, patient education, organizational development for a health system, Health and Nutrition Specialist, Editorial Director for an award winning magazine, Director for International Operations and VP of Operations for the largest women's fitness franchise in the world. These career experiences have given me the opportunity to educate thousands, both domestically and internationally on motivation, goal achievement, and health education topics. My career has also given me the opportunity to travel extensively internationally working with clients in 45 different countries.
I enjoy being active in advancing the cause for women and children's health by being involved in several non-profit organizations. I presently serve on the Advisory Council for the School of Education at Texas A&M University and Health Education advisor and Board of Directors for GAP Ministries. I have the opportunity to offer seminars annually on women's health in Mexico, Costa Rica, and throughout the U.S.
I have been blessed as the recipient of various awards and honors, such as the 1999 Excellence in Community Health Education by the National Association of Women's Health and the Kitty Magee Outstanding Professional Award by Texas Women's University Department of Health Studies in 2005. I have also received numerous grants for research to advocate the cause for women and children and have published over twenty articles and books on health related issues.
I received my undergraduate from Texas A&M University in Health and Physical Education where I played collegiate basketball. I then received a Masters of Education from Baylor University, followed by a Ph.D. in Community Health from Texas Woman's University.
I love people and am passionate about seeing them succeed. I have a deep and committed relationship with Christ and strive to live my life to please Him. He is not through with me yet but I am striving to get better everyday. I lift up all my clients in prayer daily and help them find the peace and joy that God has given me in my heart. I love life and the journey we experience during the ups and downs through our days here on earth. I love my relationship with God, my family and friends. I am passionate about nature of any form, including but not limited to birds, beautiful scenery, bodies of water, and mountains.
I love the feeling I have when I have helped someone in need or made a person laugh or smile. I love it when people are friendly back to me and a pleasant glance is exchanged between perfect strangers. I am nurtured by nature, the Bible, quiet time and devotion, worship and lying in my husband's arms. I have been married to my best friend for 20 years.
