As a strategic communications professional, I craft the right message for the right audience at the right time. As a skilled networker and "people person," I develop and strengthen relationships--both internally and externally--to benefit the organization. As a business leader, I achieve results by listening and delivering well thought-out solutions and outcomes. With extensive experience in both the for-profit and non-profit arena, I am adept at bridging communities to build partnerships and advance the mission and success of the organization
I am often asked to present to local college classes about resume building, how to land that first job and other business communication topics. This is a presentation I often use with personal examples from my JR-SR year of college and have presented to Hardin-Simmons University's Business Communication and Job Placement class several times.

Modern anaesthetic machines are complex devices that require special knowledge to operate.
In particular, knowledge of the pharmacology of inhaled anaesthetic agents is essential.
Undetected mishaps can be rapidly fatal.
A thorough check prior to use, appropriate for the particular machine, by an experienced person, is vital.
Some parts of the circuit e.g. filters & hoses, need to be changed after every or certain cases, or a different type of circuit may be selected & attached. An abbreviated re-check must be carried out after any such change.

Effluents containing heavy metals can be
remediated with the help of dead microorganisms by the process
known as biosorption. In this study the dead biomass 1of fungus
Aspergillus flavus was used for the biosorption of heavy metals
i.e., Zinc and Nickel. The capacity of biosorption by the dead
biomass of Aspergillus flavus was evaluated at room temperature
with different parameters which are; pH, contact time, biomass
concentration and metal ion concentration. The biosorption
capacity for Zn was found to be 47.36% at room temperature, at
pH 6.5, with biomass concentration of 2g/L having contact time of
50 min and solution concentration of 2ppm. Biosorption capacity
for Ni was found to be 61.60% at room temperature, at pH 5,
with biomass concentration of 2g/L having contact time of 60 min
and solution concentration of 2ppm. . In this study, desorption of
the heavy metals by 0.1M HCl was found to be effective. Fungal
biomass was recovered for reuse.
