Creating a Better Tampa Bay

Bio:

I am currently the Vice President of Florida Capital Bank, and I have been the Business Development Officer for 8years.  My financial knowledge and business development skills can be valuable in managing the Propeller Club's finances, seeking sponsorships, and promoting the economic importance of the maritime sector.

Prior to getting into banking, I worked for Harland Check Printers. I held several positions over a 19-year span from bank M&A, sales and product training, business development and project management.

As a graduate of Florida State University, I received a BS degree in marriage and drug counseling with a minor in psychology.  I soon realized that social work would not pay the bills and found myself working for an airline managing Jacksonville,Orlando and Tampa stations at 24. This is where I found my passion for transportation.  My degree demonstrates my commitment to education, which aligns with the Propeller Club's focus on maritime education outreach and developing the next generation of industry leaders. 

I stumbled upon the Propeller Club of Tampa in 2005 and found that once again I was intrigued by the efforts it takes to move passengers and cargo all over the world, much like aviation.  

I am excited to lead this organization and make a difference by connecting people, building relationships, and showcasing the Propeller Club's impact on the maritime community.
