Hi there! 

My family moved to Texas when I was in second grade. Over the years, I've lived in North Texas, Houston, Austin, and now the beautiful Central Texas Hill Country.

For 30 years, my family has lived in a charming Central Texas  town called Wimberley, on the Blanco River. 

This town has my heart.

My kids grew up playing in the river, Cypress Creek, Jacob's Well, the Comal River, the Guadalupe River, and enjoying Texas's many lakes.

We were here when the Great Memorial Day Flood of 2015 devastated our town, and have since watched the waters of the Blanco recede and lose their national reputation as the cleanest in the country.

Years of drought and dramatic growth are compromising the natural resources we depend on for the health of our economies and our people. 

It is a great blessing to be able to  contribute one's experience, abilities, and resources toward helping others.

As a professional marketing researcher, I've spent more than two decades advising big consumer brands.

As part of that work, I've interviewed hundreds of people from all walks of life in both English and Spanish, 

facilitated countless meetings, and advocated for consumers' needs and priorities to companies seeking to earn their business.

I've turned people's experiences into voice and action in the marketplace.

My goal is to use education and "marketing" to facilitate  collaboration in the healthy management of our shared human and economic lifeblood - WATER.
