professionally

I have spent 22 years in the oil and gas industry with Occidental Petroleum. After beginning my career in Oxy's Geophysics group I moved to the Business Communications department where I was instrumental in introducing most of the business technology used by Oxy's Oil and Gas group through the 1990s, including development of their first remote access capabilities and corporate intranet.

I also spent time managing the Oxy help desk before becoming Oxy's web administrator for the Occidental corporate intranets in Houston. Prior to moving to Houston to rejoin Occidental in 2005, I administered Enron's intranet at their wind energy project in Tehachapi, California. I also developed and administered the City of Tehachapi's official Internet website for over 5 years. While working as a Web Designer between the years of 1998 - 2005 I also had the opportunity to do extensive graphic design for poster and brochure layouts for Fitnus Corporation before devoting my hours full time back to Oxy in 2005.

I am currently the web administrator for The Tagos Group and the TagosGreen^TM Business Community Internet sites. In addition to being a full time administrator for their websites I also provide IT support company wide.


 

personally

After living in California for most my life I was offered a full transfer to work in Houston, Texas. After talking it over with my family, together we packed it up and moved it all out here. I am married and have two teenage boys. They are currently  attending high school in the Cypress- Fairbanks Independent School District as well as playing club ice hockey for the Junior Aeros/Houston Wild Organization (www.junioraeros.com). Yes, that's right, I am a hockey mom!! My husband Paul is currently employed as a Superintendant here in downtown Houston. Together when we are not working or at an ice rink for practices we are traveling with our boys to their games when ever possible.
