My years of work experience in higher education and volunteering for various boards, committees and organizations have given me a wide perspective on the

• details involved in the process of building and executing an operating budget

• importance of academic and social and emotional resources for students of all ages

• significance of effective communication within a community

• developing of guidelines, processes and policies

I will bring this perspective to the Berlin Board of Education.
