From the Candidate:

With a goal of supporting equitable access for all serving as a motivating factor, I have, for over a decade, served as a financial aid administrator in myriad of institutions. I am passionate about the opportunities afforded by campus communities, and what those opportunities mean in the lives of community members. I have the educational background, managerial experience, and demonstrated commitment that are some of the hallmarks of an effective board member. I am committed to working for the betterment of the TASFAA community. In addition to being collaborative, innovative and dependable, I offer a unique perspective that is forged by my professional experiences serving at public, private, 4-year, and 2-year institutions.

My desire to become a board member is fueled by my inherent need to advocate on behalf of determined students who, for whatever reasons, may not be fortunate enough to have a straight path forward to success. I hope to add my voice and my unique perspective to the many voices who are committed to realizing the mission and vision of TASFAA.
