Prior to coming to UHD in March, 2004, I was employed in Human Resources at the University of Houston for seventeen years in a variety of roles including employment, compensation and training. I have a B.A. in Psychology and an M.S. in Hotel and Restaurant Management both from the University of Houston. Before coming to UH, I worked in the hospitality industry and I am an adjunct faculty at Houston Community College in their Hospitality and Tourism department.
