My father once gave me a piece of advice that I have tried to live my life by: The greatest investment you can ever make, is to invest in people. These words of wisdom have shaped how I serve my family and are the foundation for how I approach business. As a Global HR Leader, I have the privilege of advising leaders and corporations on how to align their human capital to key business strategies. In addition, I take pride in helping corporations build inclusive, diverse, and profitable workplace cultures. But, what I am most proud of, is being married to an amazing doctor who loves her patients and being the father of my beautiful children.

Fort Worth, Texas

Mission Specialist for the Alzheimer’s Association

B.A., Communication, Texas A&M University

After graduating from Texas A&M University in the Fall of 2020, I began working in a continuing-care retirement community here in Fort Worth. I provided fitness and wellness classes for the residents as well as planned events, activities and games. I worked closely with assisted living and memory care and learned a lot about providing care for those suffering from different forms of dementia. It was an honor to be able to go to work each day and spend my time with such incredible people. Learning from them and listening to their stories was a life-changing experience.

I just recently left the world of senior living and started a position as the Mission Specialist for the Alzheimer’s Association, North Central Texas Chapter. The Alzheimer’s Association leads the charge in Alzheimer’s care, support, research and advocacy. As someone who has been personally affected by the impact of this terrible disease on a loved one, I am honored to be a part of joining the fight to end Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. My current role is one that aids in the care and support side through educational programs and support groups for caregivers, as well as those diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer’s. It is such a privilege to be a part of this wonderful organization and to hopefully have even a small impact on research for a disease that affects so many.
