I chose this career path because I needed to do something flexible and this was a natural progression for me.  I was previously with Texas Instruments, the Manager of Mergers Acquisitions & Divestitures.

My biggest challenge is turning challenges into opportunities.

My greatest strength is Portfolio Management and my interpersonal skills.

My greatest accomplishment is surviving as a woman in a male industry in Texas Instrument and this company.  My personal accomplishment is my successful marriage and my son who is my partner.

My professional goal is to continue to mentor people, our team members, young MBA and other ladies.  I want to hold monthly meetings and share my knowledge with others.

I am inspired by the love of people and by what I do because I do it well.

I am a member of the Association of Corporate Growth, the Menttium 100 Mentor Program, the Association of Professional Investment Consultants and the National Accountant Association.
