A Long History with Public Education
Public education has been an integral part of my life from a very early age. At three months old, I had my first exposure to public education as a passenger on my mom’s school bus route. As I grew older, my mom transitioned into a school secretary position and my dad became a school board member. My parents’ best friends were the superintendent, business official and principals for our school district. We had many lively conversations about public education. Growing up in a diverse, blue collar community in the '60s and '70s, my family took on the charge to fight for the access to high-quality education for all. This early exposure is the core of why I am a school business official today. I am honored and humbled to serve as a director on the board of the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBOI) as my next step in this effort.
Promoting the Highest Standards of School Management
I am passionate about providing high-quality education and collaborating with school business professionals. While serving on the ASBOI board, I will be committed to providing programs and services that promote the highest standards of school business management, professional growth and the effective use of educational resources. I will actively use my passion for our profession to find ways to engage in this work and be a champion for school business professionals around the world.
