Minority & Women-Owned Business Enterprise Certification

Since 2014, Designs Group Consulting has combined professional expertise with a deep commitment to giving back. Through donated goods, services, volunteer efforts, and financial contributions, I have supported more than $50,000 in charitable initiatives benefiting local nonprofits, cancer research, animal rescue, volunteer fire departments, scholarships, youth organizations, women’s programs, workforce development, and community causes throughout Hot Springs Village. I believe meaningful success is measured not only by business results, but also by the positive difference we make in others' lives. That commitment to service, integrity, and community impact is at the heart of everything I do.

Business with Purpose. Impact with Heart.

Serving with Purpose: Leadership, Volunteerism, and Community Impact

I believe in giving my time back to the community by serving in leadership, advisory, and volunteer roles that make a meaningful difference. Through board presidencies, nonprofit service, professional organizations, and marine conservation efforts, I have had the privilege of supporting local residents, community programs, and causes close to my heart.

A Lifelong Commitment to Protecting Our Oceans

My passion for ocean and marine life conservation is grounded in scientific knowledge, hands-on volunteer service, and meaningful philanthropy. After studying marine biology at Texas A&M University at Galveston, I volunteered with the Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network and Save the Manatee, gaining firsthand experience supporting vulnerable marine animals. I also worked in a St. Petersburg pathology laboratory, conducting necropsies to help uncover the causes of marine wildlife loss. These experiences transformed my passion into a lifelong commitment to protecting our oceans, marine mammals, and coastal ecosystems. Today, I continue to support this mission through charitable giving and advocacy for organizations including The Marine Mammal Center, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, and Texas A&M Galveston’s Gulf Center for Sea Turtle Research. For me, conservation is more than a cause—it is a personal responsibility and a promise to help preserve marine life for future generations.
