My 6 years on the board have exposed me to most aspects of school operations. I have focused on finance and negotiations, which are central to keeping schools operational and successful.
I was Operations Manager at MSU for 5 years. All of that experience from the processes of O&M of buildings and grounds to understanding fund accounting translates directly. I have 25 years of experience in publicly traded companies that specialize in high tech engineering and construction. Managing diverse groups of people, contracts and budgets in excess of $30M annually, and complying with transparency rules for fortune 500 companies have been valuable in understanding the complexities of running a school.
