Narrative Summary : My academic career started in 1980 and it has been a 27-year career with consistently increasing levels of responsibility in different academic layers: High School Principal (1 yr); Community College (13 years plus six more supervising Cameron University’s AA Degrees in Technology); Regional University (University of Central Oklahoma 5 plus 6 at Cameron); and comprehensive research university (since 2005 at Texas A&M University-Kingsville as Assistant Dean, promoted to Associate Dean 2007; TAMUK, COE Interim Chair service (twice: Bilingual and Ed Leadership & Counseling, both with doctoral and master-level programs); Doctoral Faculty teaching Policy, Grantsmanship, Research and Chairing multiple dissertations. I have been graduate faculty at three universities: UCO, Cameron and TAMUK. Service to the college and community has involved municipal government, various service clubs and organizations, and a personal determination to be a neighbor and friend to people from all educational levels of completion and multiple work environments (Executive Member of Workforce Investment Board in South Central Oklahoma). With an eclectic academic background—BS Education, Master Liberal Studies, Doctorate in Supervision in Higher Education, my life focus has been to help people succeed in accomplishing good things with their life. So far, in my careers as educator, technologist, researcher, administrator, mentor and facilitator, I have enjoyed long-lasting friendships even when I had to be the individual who evaluated someone and inform them of a need to improve their performance. This career field has been an enduring series of wonderful experiences, each one building upon the previous one, making a very full life. It is my intention to continue in my chosen career as a Higher Education Administrator, Public Servant and Servant-Leader.
