I'm new to WGU Texas, but not new to Texas higher education. Prior to joining WGU Texas, a non-profit, accredited, state-endorsed university in April, I worked at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for 19+ years in various positions, most recently as the Deputy Commissioner/COO. Prior to that, I served for 6 years as the Chief of Staff and Legislative Director for then-State Representative Irma Rangel of South Texas and chair of the House Higher Education Committee. I'm student-centered and passionate about improving lives through education, particularly among underserved populations.
