From the Candidate:

I have a deep passion for financial aid and seek to expand my knowledge of our profession by serving on the TASFAA Board. I believe we never stop learning. I have worked in financial aid for 19 years and have seen many changes in our profession. I feel we have an opportunity to provide guidance to what comes down from our legislators, and as our TASFAA organization grows stronger, so does our message. I would like to contribute by sending that message of the importance of higher education to the thousands of students that, without solid leadership, won't be heard. I trust in hard work, honesty, exploring new ideas, and most of all, demonstrating compassion to help make dreams a reality for the students we serve.
