I am currently pursuing an associate’s degree of science in Electrical Engineering. My passion is robotics in health care, and much of my free time is spent either researching or wiring up circuits in various robots. I was a volunteer robotics mentor for an after school program at Indian Springs Middle School and a volunteer for the robotics and electronics academy at my old technical high school, The Greater Waco Advanced Manufacturing Academy. I hope to one day develop a company that will make robotic assistants for nurses and doctors, the norm for patient care.

I’m a Marketing instructor that came to this profession after spending 20+ years in the advertising/marketing agency business. Working with students has been rewarding in a way that working for clients never was for me.  I love to try new things and, while I am not artistic, I consider creativity one of my greatest strengths.  My creativity might take the form of solving problems, planning a child’s birthday party or upcycling stuff around the house. My favorite pastimes are practicing yoga, riding my bike and reading.
