I was born in Illinois, moved to Ohio as a teenager, spent my Junior year of High School as a Rotary exchange student to Brazil, moved to the Houston area in Texas in 1983 and still reside here. I furthered my formal education at Marshall University studying Mathematics in the field of Education. Later when attending the University of Houston, I changed my major to Electrical Engineering. I am a mother of four, a stepmother of five, a grandmother of 20+ grandchildren and a great grandmother of six. My husband and I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, car shows, and exploring new things.
I love meeting new people, learning about them, helping them, and just being a listening ear, even if it is for a moment. My youngest son always tells me he can’t take me anywhere without me talking to someone, especially if we are waiting in line or in a waiting room. When he was about 16, he had to have an x-ray done. When he went for the x-ray, I was the only one in the waiting room. While he was gone an elderly lady came in, signed in and sat down next to me to wait her turn. As I greeted her, she began to tell me what had happened to her, why she was there, etc. When my son came back, he took one look at us, shook his head and said, “Really mom”.
My love of sharing knowledge, watching and helping others learn and grow is a big part of my life, from raising my children, to learning, training, and coaching co-workers, subordinates, peers, and other department’s staff during my 37+ years in the Information Technology field. My teams and I often had to collaborate with other teams within our IT structure for the many clients and vendors we supported over the years, each unique in their requirements.
If you would like to discover more about where you would like your career to go, change, or fit better with your lifestyle, I would really enjoy being your coach. It will be a safe environment where you can explore, learn and come to an understanding of different possibilities where your skill set, interests, and ambitions could bring you the income, lifestyle, equity and wealth you desire.
