With over 25 years of experience in the transportation industry and public relations, I currently serve as a Director at the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), overseeing communications and public information for more than 50 counties in southeast Texas, including some of the nation\'s largest and fastest-growing markets. Collectively, my districts manage over $7B in active construction and have $22B in capital projects planned for the next decade.My robust track record encompasses successful management of complex and multi-faceted projects, cross functional team management, consensus building, strategic communications, effective brand and reputation management, risk mitigation, strategy implementation, management of internal and external communications, crisis management, and the establishment of strategic partnerships. Drawing from 15 years as a senior leader and principal point of contact for TxDOT in Houston, I have also held key roles such as Chief Communications Officer, Special Advisor to the Executive Director, Service Line Lead, certified project manager, and senior professional associate.In addition to my role at TxDOT, I proudly serve as a Board Member at CenterPoint Energy (NYSE: CNP), a leading energy delivery company with a $25B market cap. In this capacity, I contribute expertise in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, stakeholder relations, enterprise brand and reputation management, meticulous attention to detail, and an astute ability to swiftly grasp the essence of problems, anticipate trends, and adapt strategies. As a Fortune 500 company board director, I provide C-Suite oversight for strategic thrusts and enterprise risks, actively contributing to shaping corporate culture, vision, mission, and values.Passionate about public service and advancing innovation in the transportation and energy sectors, I bring a collaborative and leadership-oriented approach.
