“I attribute my ability to build a successful business career to my parents who, from a very early age, were committed to raising independent children, who worked hard, and had big dreams. After graduating from college, I moved to Texas on a whim to pursue my masters in education. I fell in love with the marketing industry at a cross roads in my career. I was looking for something different and challenging. I started in a management-training program in 2005 and I was able to attain an upper management position within a year and a half. Since then, I have opened up over 15 locations in multiple industries and cities. It’s truly exciting every time we open up a new city, because not only are we expanding our reach into new markets, but we are providing a chance for members of our hard working team to lead the charge in those cities. My number one priority is passing on management opportunities to our team and growing consistent results for our clients.”

“The ideal lifestyle comes from hard work. You get out of life what you put into it. My whole life I have lived by adventure and taking risks. I moved to Dallas on a whim, and it has worked out beyond my imagination. I believe success comes from risk and sometimes you have just have to jump.”

“I was immediately attracted to the Texas Rangers campaign, which was in full swing when I came on board last summer. I also would be representing over one hundred amazing brands in the Sports and Entertainment industry. It was so refreshing to be around these hilarious, confident, Type A people who lived by their goals. I knew just by looking at some of them that even though they were so young, they were really going places. Also, I had never known of a company having a CEO with an open door policy and a vested interest in my personal growth. I knew from then on that I wanted to pursue a leadership role to reciprocate the same mentorship that was given to me, and help other people build success for themselves.”

“The way I will reach my goal, is to always continue to move forward, network with those above me, and surround myself with people who have the same goals. My goal is to always take the positives out of everything and apply the lessons I learn everyday. The most important thing in my life is my family. I want the best things for them and I cant wait to provide for them.”
