Bio

My work requires a strong motivation to ensure the highest caliber of service and accountability to the financial operations of the Superintendent of Schools’ office, but also the school districts that we service. Maintaining a high degree of accountability with resources entrusted by the public creates a capacity that ensures public programs operate with the highest degree of integrity. My current professional experience puts me in a position where I need to have a professional understanding of the multi-faceted work that impacts the proper management and administration of both fiscal and capital resources. It also demands that I have keen understanding of how to put the right individuals with the right experience to help support the decision-making process.
