EMPLOYMENT HISTORY: 5/98 – Present
 
Non-attorney - Practicing Arbitration and Mediation since1998 cases involving parties regarding the following: medical billing; auto line; civil litigation, family law, probate, real estate, labor and employment, commercial financial industry; contracts, insurance claims, and maritime law. I'm also a consultant on arbitration and mediation cases for business owners. In Arbitration I use collective bargaining skills to conduct orderly hearings. My awards are clear and precise, which demonstrates to the parties that I clearly listen to their testimony and reviewed their documents along with exhibits. My tenure as a Arbitrator consist of me working with Texas Department of Insurance; Texas Comptroller of Property Taxes; FINRA (Financial Industrial Regulatory Authority); The Better Business Bureau Metropolitan Houston & South Texas Auto Line and servicing the Maritime, Oil & Gas, Energy and Transportation Industries. As a Mediator I used my collective bargaining skills to assist the parties in coming to a mutual agreement to settle their dispute and to ensure all parties are satisfied. I'm a mediator for Judicial Region Two for the State Office of Administrative Hearings, Harris County Judicial and Civil Courts, Harris County Dispute Resolution Center, Family Courts and Texas Department of Insurance. I have served as an Ombudsman for Harris County Long Term Care Ombudsman Program, which assist with checking on Health Care Centers located in Harris County. Prior to me becoming a Arbitrator-Mediator I was a Paralegal for ten years involved in litigation associated with the same cases I now arbitrate and mediate.
