A New Chapter.

I have absolutely loved serving as the Executive Director of Keep Mesquite Beautiful (a 501 c3 nonprofit under the City of Mesquite). I have grown so much professionally and it has been a blast! It has been such a blessing to build wonderful relationships throughout the City of Mesquite, Mesquite ISD School District and Businesses while making positive changes in the Mesquite community.

However, a few weeks ago I was recruited by Capital One's Corporate Community Relations Office in Plano. As several of you know, before my current position, I helped run the Community Relations Office at Alliance Data. Positions such as these are extremely difficult to find and to have one fall into my lap is an opportunity that I can't pass up. I will once again have the opportunity to take corporate dollars and plug them into the nonprofit realm while having the opportunity to engage in several nonprofits throughout the community and employee volunteerism. This will be a new and exciting chapter in my life. It is very bittersweet to leave a position that I love, but I am confident that I am walking into another wonderful position that will help me grow and give me new experiences.

After several prayers, I believe this is where God is calling me at this time. Wish me luck! :)
PS- I will now work next to the Shops of Legacy and Stonebriar Mall – LOVE this area!!



My very sweet husband suprised me with flowers and sushi to celebrate my new job!
