How did you first become involved in SACAC? The first time that I had the opportunity to serve SACAC was actually during my first SACAC annual conference in Raleigh, NC. I served on the Extend the Dream Grant committee. I had great mentors and as a result, the opportunity truly fell into my lap, but I’m more than grateful to have been considered. Extend the Dream was just the beginning and it gave me a different perspective and a different way of thinking about and approaching my place and role in the organization.
What aspect of SACAC’s mission inspires you? “…promoting ethical responsibility, professional growth, access, advocacy, and outreach to help all students realize their postsecondary educational goals.” SACAC has always been a place for me to engage professionally in a meaningful way. I’ve had the great privilege of serving as a committee member for the Horizon Award, a Governance and Nominating committee member, Dry Run faculty member, Camp College faculty member, and eventually serving on the Board of Directors for the first time as a one of the Grants chairs. There are so many ways to get involved and ultimately to serve our members and the students that we all work hard to serve. SACAC’s mission inspires me because there is room for everyone to contribute and to get involved.
Favorite SACAC event/program: The conference, of course!
Three words that describe SACAC: Spirited, evolving, relevant
Three words that describe me: I’ll give you two words: trained extrovert!
