I work as a systems manager for a beverage manufacturing company and am passionate about opportunities for growth and development in various capacities for my company and myself. I bring a background of diverse experiences to the board including working for higher education institutions for several years and then pivoting to the manufacturing industry within the past two. These experiences allowed me to develop different perspectives from very different environments while also always ensuring a connection to the community, which I have been able to incorporate in all of my professional experiences. I believe these experiences and my desire for connections and development would be direct assets to the board.
