Bio: I'm originally from Matamoros, Tamaulipas Mexico and grew up in League City, TX. I went to Dickinson High School in Dickinson, TX. Currently, I'm the supervisor for the Center for Student Affairs at Discovery Park. I have a BBA and MBA from Midwestern State University at Wichita Falls, TX. I also graduate with a MEd in Higher Education from UNT.

I am open to helping all students who are my employees, students who come through my door, and especially the students in Greek Life who I serve as a staff advisor. This job allows me to open the door for students who have similar backgrounds as myself, help them find their way here on our campus, and to graduate. I enjoy developing a connection and assisting in their success.
