Additional Information
I would love the opportunity to take everything that I have learned through my years with the City of Waveland. The transition of pre and post Hurricane Katrina life and business taught me so much, most importantly i worked with the various funding agencies (FEMA/MEMA/Mississippi Development Authority) for the reimbursement and designation of rebuilding of the City. I have happily listened and learned over the years.
I began my administrative career in 1986 as a Dental Receptionists, making my way to Governmental work. My desire is that you will find my work experience has led me to learn about people, the different personalities that go along with that and most importantly the understanding that everyone has a story to tell and what one may see in front of them may not reflect their true presence of mind. Patience and kindness with compassion for what we do is of the utmost importance.
