Howdy! I am thrilled to be at the ASA and serving as the director of development. I have been here since last August and have spent the past several months building a development program for the ASA that will allow the organization to continue to build upon the important work in support of the practice and profession of statistics.
I am a proud Texan (Do we come any other way?), but have lived in three foreign countries and a few other states along the way. In 2004, I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in biomedical science and married my husband, who is also a Texas Aggie and serves as a major in the U.S. Air Force.
Our first assignment took us to Ramstein, Germany, for four wonderful years. It is in Germany that I discovered my passion for working with nonprofit organizations. Before coming to the ASA, I spent eight years with the USO, working in several areas of development. I really enjoyed it and found it rewarding to grow relationships with corporate partners and individual donors.
I have a deep appreciation for good food and wine and love to travel. My biggest hobby (literally) is riding my Dutch Warmblood. I grew up riding bareback, chasing cows on my family’s ranch in North Texas, and then graduated to galloping across open fields and jumping over various obstacles. Now, I have settled down into riding in dressage competitions.
My husband and I have a 3-year-old son, Drew, who is absolutely the light of our lives. He provides constant entertainment and exercise for us!
I have thoroughly enjoyed being at the ASA and getting to know many of you already. I’m looking forward to meeting many more of you in the near future!
