Our People

Tiffany is the kind of person who can strike up a conversation with anyone—and genuinely enjoy it. She’s warm, outgoing, and has a personality that draws people in. With her infectious smile, quick wit, and heart of pure gold, Tiffany is the definition of generous—always ready to lend a hand, share a laugh, or offer support to someone who needs it.

A proud “lacrosse mom” to some very large sons, Tiffany lives in Las Vegas, where she and her husband love to show off the city when friends and family come to visit. Whether they’re exploring funky restaurants, catching a spectacular show, or enjoying live music on the Strip, Tiffany embraces the energy and entertainment that make Vegas unforgettable. She’s a devoted Golden Knights fan, a lover of great travel and great music, and someone who’s always up for discovering a cool new spot or making memories over a delicious meal.

With nearly two decades of experience in education and training, Tiffany also brings serious skill to the table. She’s an experienced public speaker, a natural trainer, and a trusted guide for educators. As an Education Consultant, she’s masterful at helping customers design the perfect program to meet the needs of their unique students. Friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help, Tiffany is the person you want in your corner when it comes to building programs that truly make a difference.

Shannon is a force of nature—the kind of person who shows up with boundless energy, a big heart, and a toolkit of unexpected talents. She grew up in Alaska (yes, she really had a pet moose), and today channels that same adventurous spirit into everything she does. From training her German Shepherds, performing magic tricks, and juggling for students at her local church to treasure hunting with her metal detector, Shannon brings purpose and play to every corner of her life. She’s recovered hundreds of lost rings—many returned to their rightful owners—and has even been featured in treasure-hunting magazines.

Fiercely loyal, deeply empathetic, and just the right amount of competitive, Shannon is someone you want in your corner. Her greatest adventure, though, has been raising her son with autism—a journey that’s filled her family with joy and given her a profound understanding of the unique challenges and diverse needs faced by so many. That experience shapes how she connects, supports, and advocates for every customer she meets.

Shannon has been with MindWorks since day one. And while she jokingly threatens to quit if asked to test one more toy, she’s all in. She brings fearless creativity, sharp problem-solving, and contagious enthusiasm to everything she touches. Whether consulting with customers, leading trainings, or rolling up her sleeves behind the scenes, she does it with a can-do attitude and unwavering heart.

Shannon always says there’s no place like MindWorks—and it shows. Her belief in the people, the mission, and the work runs deep. She’s not just part of the team—she’s part of its foundation.

Becca is the epitome of sparkle—radiating energy, charm, and an undeniable zest for life. Though few know it, she studied Opera in college, adding a touch of the dramatic (in the best way) to everything she does. Whether she’s dazzling guests at one of her legendary parties or jetting off on her next global adventure (yes, even with a serious fear of flying), Becca brings big energy and unforgettable flair to every moment.

A natural communicator and born entertainer, Becca has a magnetic presence that draws people in. She makes everyone feel like they’re part of something special—whether she’s telling a hilarious story, throwing together a themed celebration, or lighting up a meeting with one of her signature Becca-isms. Her quick wit and creativity are contagious, and her phrases tend to stick around long after the conversation ends.

But behind all that sparkle is a seasoned professional with a deep understanding of early childhood and after-school education. With years spent leading programs that blend learning and play, Becca knows how to create environments where students thrive and educators feel supported. She combines her background in communication with hands-on leadership experience to develop resources that are both practical and full of heart—just like her.

Becca’s work reflects her personality: vibrant, thoughtful, and driven by a desire to make every learning experience feel meaningful and memorable. She’s not just a bright light on our team—she’s the kind that helps others shine, too.

John is a true adventurer at heart, always seeking the next great road trip—but don’t expect him to book a hotel. He’d rather pitch a tent under the stars, make breakfast over a campfire, and take the scenic route whenever possible. For John, the journey is just as important as the destination.

His love of storytelling extends well beyond the open road. As an amateur actor and videographer, John knows how to capture attention and spark imagination—whether he’s behind the camera or performing on stage. He has a natural ability to bring stories to life, and that same creative energy shows up in everything he does.

John is also a dedicated community volunteer with a special passion for working with students, especially those in middle school. He’s spent years building connections with young people through mentorship, creativity, and shared laughter. Whether he’s working with students at a local program or helping out behind the scenes, John brings authenticity and heart to every interaction.

And if you’ve ever visited the State Fair of Texas, you may have unknowingly seen him in action. For years, he’s worked as a puppeteer there—entertaining families and bringing characters to life with charm and precision.

In his MindWorks products, John channels his passion and personality into every lesson he creates. From imaginative prompts to unexpected twists, his work is designed to spark curiosity and keep students engaged. He thrives in the unusual and the unique—bringing a spirit of adventure to everything he touches.

Brooke has a keen eye for fashion and design. She loves the sun and any excuse to relax by the water. She has a fantastic sense of humor, surrounds herself with fun-loving people, embraces adventure, and is always willing to try something new at least once—sometimes twice. Naturally inquisitive and detail-oriented, she eagerly takes on new challenges, responsibilities, and is not afraid to tackle difficult problems. She is genuine and personable, and her team loves her. Combined with her years of experience and detailed knowledge of all aspects of the business, Brooke is an incredibly valuable Operations Manager.

Melinda is a walking contradiction in the best way possible—organized yet indecisive. If there’s a list to be made, she’s on it. A detail-oriented powerhouse, she keeps everything running smoothly, even if decision-making isn’t exactly her strong suit. Life with twins turned her world upside down in the best way, and after overcoming cancer, she embraces every moment with a newfound appreciation. She has a soft spot for historic places, a deep love for Joanna Gaines, and an almost spiritual connection to office supplies. Her dogs may drive her crazy, but a cold Dr. Pepper can fix just about anything. Melinda brings charm, precision, and humor to everything she does.

Deborah has a kind heart and a fun, lighthearted spirit. Soft-spoken yet incredibly disciplined, she brings warmth and structure to everything she does. In a house divided between "Gig 'em Aggies" and "Hook 'em Horns", she navigates rivalries with humor and grace. She and her husband love hosting friends and family for homemade pizza nights in their outdoor oven, and she has a quirky love for small spoons and believes maple syrup deserves its own spot on the food pyramid. Deborah is an avid runner and even tackles Tough Mudders with her entire family, proving that determination runs in the blood. And it's that same determination and her meticulous attention to detail that help keep our finances running smoothly, making her an invaluable part of our team.

Chelsea is a true multi-talent, bringing creativity, skill, and a fearless spirit to everything she does. A trained vet tech with a special love for exotic animals, she’s just as comfortable handling a bearded dragon or zebra as she is brainstorming new ideas at MindWorks, where she thrives in an environment that challenges her knowledge and hands-on expertise. Outside of work, Chelsea’s artistic side takes center stage—sometimes literally. Whether she’s painting, acting in local productions, or stepping in as a stunt double for other actors, she’s always up for an adventure. Her ability to transform into different roles isn’t just for the stage; she brings that same adaptability and energy to the MindWorks team, making her a dynamic and invaluable part of the crew.

Mindi is the brains of the burrow—organized, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. With her beautiful cyan-blue eyes and confident smile, she’s the go-to fox for problem-solving, planning, and pulling everything together. Whether she’s leading a science experiment, organizing an art show, or teaching Milo how not to glue his paws together, Mindi brings clarity and calm to every adventure. She’s passionate about learning, loves a freshly sharpened pencil, and secretly keeps a chart of every time Milo gets distracted mid-task. Mindi believes that every kid has something amazing to express—and she’s here to help them discover it.

Milo is a bundle of energy wrapped in orange fur, always on the move and full of clever ideas. With bright green eyes and a mischievous grin, Milo is the master of turning everyday moments into playful learning. He’s known for starting projects without reading the instructions, inventing games on the fly, and turning anything into a race (even lunch). While he might lose his backpack occasionally (okay, often), he never loses his sense of wonder. Milo is all about exploring, experimenting, and finding fun in the unexpected—and he’s always ready to high-five a great idea.
