Strategic leadership experience. I bring 18+ years leading operations, people, budgets, projects, and partnerships. As Business Operations Director at a Wyoming nonprofit, I developed a product mix using historical demand and changing market needs, balancing data, priorities, and resources.
Community and collaboration. I bring experience working with strategic partners, students, families, and other stakeholders. I listen, value diverse perspectives, and build trust. As a trustee, I would bring thoughtful questions, responsible stewardship, student-centered decision making.
With uncertain revenue, CWC must prioritize strategically: protect programs essential to student success while investing deliberately in areas with demonstrated demand. I support data-informed evaluations of existing programs and intentional growth where CWC has a competitive advantage. Additionally, I would advocate for revenue diversification through additional grants, private gifts, online offerings, and partnerships. Most importantly, CWC should remain nimble, continually evaluating, adapting, and investing thoughtfully.
I believe CWC is one of the region’s most important driver for opportunity, workforce development, entrepreneurship, and community vitality. CWC should continue connecting with employers, expanding apprenticeships and technical education, and providing real-world learning. As a community anchor, it should remain accessible to traditional students, working adults, career changers, high school students, and the Wind River Reservation community. I believe CWC should seek to prepare people for meaningful work, help our economy thrive, and foster a vibrant, resilient community.
