From the Candidate

Serving on the TASFAA board of directors has been one of the most rewarding and valuable decisions I have ever made. After having served 3 years on the TASFAA board, I feel I have found a new avenue to help fellow administrators along with contributing a unique voice to our organization. I would love the opportunity to further assist my fellow financial aid administrators as your TASFAA president.

I have worked in higher education for over 23 years, from financial aid advisor to director level, and with private, proprietary and public institutions. I want to continue to give back to our financial aid community and serving as your president would be a great next step. Currently, I serve on the TASFAA regional training committee, site selection committee, and the early awareness committee. I love training and helping others to better understand our already complicated financial aid world! TASFAA helps me to achieve this goal.

I am a first generation, Asian American who loves to represent our financial aid community and find ways to make our professional lives a little bit easier and a lot more fun. I believe in sharing best practices, ideas and spending time as a community to better understand everyone’s struggles….ultimately trying to help each other overcome those struggles. I’d be honored to lead TASFAA to ensure we will always represent you!
