Combining my qualifications and past experiences, I can contribute in unique and impactful ways. My professional background as a CEO has given me a distinct and valuable perspective. I’ve guided budgets greater than $27 million and led high-performing staff teams. I’ve also been elected to leadership roles at both the state and national levels.
