Since 2011, I have been an active member of IFMA DFW, supporting the local chapter through my involvement in the Membership Committee for the past 2 years. In recognition of my contributions, I was selected for the IFMA DFW Member Spotlight in November 2023 and honored as Facility Manager of the Year for 2024.

Beyond my local chapter involvement, I contribute on a broader scale by volunteering on the IFMA Certificate Commission, where I participate in updating the FMP and SFP Certificate programs. Recently, I joined the US Technical Advisory Group (US TAG) to ISO/TC 267 (ISO 41000 FM Standards), advocating for a common language and approach for FM practices.

With all three designations achieved through IFMA and over a decade of experience as a Facilities Manager, I bring a proven track record of leadership, innovation, and dedication to IFMA DFW. I am confident in my ability to serve effectively as the Second Vice President of our local IFMA chapter. I am committed to fostering an environment of collaboration, driving strategic initiatives, and enhancing the value of our membership experience. Together, we can continue to strengthen IFMA DFW and advance the profession of Facility Management.
