Wake up on a Saturday to take a walk with my kids and husband on the Brushy Creek Trail near our home, go farmer’s market shopping, eat a picnic lunch at our neighborhood pond, walk around downtown and finish the day at a Round Rock Express game, eating Carnitas Nachos for dinner.

As a Round Rock Express Senior Vice President of Marketing, what are your proudest accomplishments?

Even though it seems like I just started here out of college, it has been 15 years! I have been blessed to work for a great company that cares about its people. I’ve learned a lot from our ownership group and my mentors here on how to make a difference in the community and how to mentor others. I am proud of what the Round Rock Express does in the community.

On a fun front, I’m specifically proud of the Willie Nelson bobblehead in 2015, the Round Rock desktop replica this year, and our marketing team for their creative, fun ways to entertain Express fans!
