Biography
I have come to be known as a “Jill Of All Trades”. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, a Master in Counseling Psychology, and a Master in Pastoral Psychology.
I have been in clinical practice since 2001, specializing in marriage, Post Traumatic Stress disorders, and aviation related Issues.
I have had the privilege of several exciting careers including 25 years as a Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff, a former Chief Pilot, and Check Airmen with American Eagle Airlines. I am currently a Captain with American Airlines residing in the outskirt area of Dallas, Texas. I have also owned my own and been a corporate officer for handful of businesses.
I am an Ordained Chaplain with the International Alliance of Chaplain Corporation and volunteer during a crisis to assist others, perform marriages, and baptisms when the opportunity arises.
I am an active volunteer with Women In Aviation International and sit on the board of the local Texas chapter. This year I was blessed to receive "The 2020 Bruce Baty Volunteer of the Year" for WAI International.
I am a widowed and have two adult children both married and I enjoy five very active grandchildren.
Passion
I am passionate about inspiring others to achieve their dreams. Teaching adults and children how to get what they want out of life and giving them a "Yes I Can" attitude for success.
Best Story
I mentored a young 22 year old woman, who was on her way to greatness, but lacked direction in leadership and how to cope with the magnitudes of personalities each individual possesses. Within a short period of time she began to learn how to lead and inspire others. With new skills she went from running a very small organization (under 20) to growing, directing, and running the organization of over 100 people in just 3 years, becoming an up and coming leader amongst seasoned leaders. With guidance and mentoring she is obtaining her Master's Degree and developing a successful second business venture. She has become quite an innovator and leader in just a short time.
Origin Story
I learned as a young female deputy sheriff, when women were not welcomed in that field, that life can be extremely challenging and more often we will hear "No you can't do that" or "No women can't" or "You won't succeed". I heard this time and time again, and even though I was hurt to hear it, I refused to accept it. I developed an attitude of "Watch me, Yes I Can".
I am willing to travel
More than 100 miles
