I have been a proud resident of the Dallas–Fort Worth area for more than 40 years, and my commitment to serving my community has shaped both my career and my volunteer leadership. For over 33 years, I have worked for the United States Postal Service, holding a variety of roles that strengthened my skills in customer service, communication, and strategic relationship building. My experience includes serving as a Business Service Network Representative, where I supported business customers and ensured they understood the full range of USPS services and resources. I later transitioned into the role of Business Development Specialist, representing the organization at events and networking opportunities. I currently serve as a Sales Executive, identifying revenue opportunities, building partnerships, and representing the Postal Service in the marketplace. Alongside my professional career, I have dedicated 23 years to credit union governance across three boards. My service began at First Class Credit Union in Fort Worth, where I spent 18 years in multiple leadership roles, including Vice Chairman. I later joined the Board of Directors at United Texas Credit Union in San Antonio, serving for more than four years until its merger with Alliance Credit Union in January 2026. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of credit union operations, regulatory responsibilities, and the importance of member driven decision making. I am seeking the opportunity to serve on the Alliance Credit Union Board because I believe strongly in cooperative values—people helping people. Credit unions exist to improve the financial well being of their members, and I want to use my experience, leadership, and commitment to service to help advance that mission. Serving on the board is a meaningful way to make a tangible difference in the lives of members and the communities we support.
