I am an experienced business professional with more than 25 years of experience in business operations, financial management, customer service, and administration. Throughout my career, I have been committed to providing exceptional service, building strong working relationships, and supporting organizational success through efficiency, integrity, and continuous improvement.

Since October 2018, I have served as the Business Coordinator for the Mississippi State University Institute for Systems Engineering and Research (MSU ISER). In this role, I coordinate a wide range of business operations, including budget management, personnel actions, procurement, travel, financial reporting, project support, and compliance with university policies and procedures. I work closely with university departments, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), industry partners, and community organizations to ensure our business operations run smoothly and effectively.

Over the years, I have continued to expand my responsibilities by supporting federally funded research projects, improving administrative processes, coordinating special events, and helping develop partnerships that strengthen the mission of MSU ISER. I enjoy finding solutions to challenges, learning new technologies, and creating more efficient processes that benefit both my team and the organization.

Before joining Mississippi State University, I worked as an Eligibility Assistant with the Mississippi Division of Medicaid, where I assisted clients with Affordable Care Act enrollment and eligibility services. Prior to that, I served as an Accounts Payable Analyst, managing vendor relationships, financial transactions, reconciliations, and accounting processes.

I also spent more than 12 years in the gaming industry, where I held positions as a Cage Cashier and Supervisor, Surveillance Agent, and Poker Room Supervisor. These roles strengthened my leadership, financial management, regulatory compliance, and customer service skills while teaching me the importance of accountability, teamwork, and attention to detail.

I take pride in being dependable, organized, and adaptable. I enjoy working with people, supporting my team, and helping organizations achieve their goals through collaboration and effective communication. I am committed to continuous professional growth and strive to make a positive impact in everything I do.
