Prior to being hired in at the college, I worked as both a college work-study student and a substitute secretary, so I know the benefit of humble beginnings. I am a hardworking, dedicated, responsible, team player who is not afraid to do things I have never done before. I am both willing and able to serve to secure what is best for the membership, and was part of the negotiation team responsible of our current contract. I am innovative, and I value fairness. I have the need to get explanations and answers, so I’m not afraid to ask tough questions when I need to.I am running for President in an effort to continue the work that I have started, in keeping the membership, at large, as a valued benefit to HFC and to defend our contract. I consider it an honor to represent the SSA membership and will continue to be, if elected, a representative for our best interests and a voice for your concerns.
