What are your key CTE responsibilities in your current job role? 

Currently, I manage workforce development programs for students ages 18-21. I manage schedules, instructor and student interaction, and contribute to our enrollment initiatives. 

Why do you feel CTE is important to the future of education? 

Everyone is not ready for college when they graduate from high school. I love having programs where students can take one or two classes in preparation to enter the workforce with a livable wage. 

What is the biggest benefit students can receive from enrolling in CTE programs/course? 

Providing students with the opportunity to earn a living without a college education is a key outcome of CTE. Learners can come away with transferable skills to help them in many fields. 

What are some of your hobbies? 

I love to read and travel, go for walks and jogs, and experiment with food.
