NALHE DFW

Thrilled and honored to have been featured in D CEO Magazine for “Art of Style” in the September/October issue. Style is more than fashion—it’s presence, confidence, and the intentional way we show up for the work and communities we serve. For me, that means leading with a style that is strategic, polished, poised, and purpose-driven. Thank you to D Magazine, Will Maddox, and Christine Perez for this wonderful opportunity. Like innovation, personal style is grounded in vision, creativity, and intentional expression. It’s a business-chic approach that complements the work at hand…always with a cafecito in one hand, of course! ☕ I’m deeply thankful to my mom, God, family, mentors, the amazing Health Wildcatters team, and the formidable Dallas community for continually inspiring me to grow and evolve — and to the younger version of me who always dreamed boldly and creatively, loved to pose (as my mom loves to remind me), and never stopped believing, hoping, or having the faith to keep moving forward. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with such kind messages — I truly appreciate the support from friends, colleagues, and our incredible ecosystem.

I’m proud to share that I’ve officially completed my Master of Science degree in Organizational Leadership and Change Management from Colorado Technical University! 🎓✨ This 18-month journey has been both challenging and deeply fulfilling. As a daughter of immigrants and a mother of two girls, this moment means even more—I hope it shows them how proud I am of their sacrifices and to future generations, what’s possible when you commit to the work and believe in your goals. I’m incredibly grateful for my husband, Adam Escalante, and family’s constant support and encouragement throughout this journey. ❤️ A special thank-you to Children's Health for providing an educational benefit that allowed me to pursue this degree—an opportunity I will never take for granted. And to my leader, Analisa Eaton, thank you for the guidance, flexibility, and support that helped make this achievement possible. Here’s to growth, perseverance, and new opportunities ahead! 🌟 #MastersGraduate #OrganizationalLeadership #ChangeManagement #ColoradoTechnicalUniversity #WorkingMom #SiSePuede #EducationMatters #ChildrensHealth #ProfessionalGrowth #Leadership #MilestoneAchieved
