If elected, what are your goals for this office: TCBA has been fortunate these last several years to have the service of several good Treasurers who established sound financial practices that helped us weather the storms occasioned by changes in executive directors and COVID. I expect to continue these efforts, while looking for opportunities to improve upon our practices with the assistance of TCBA staff and the Executive Committee. Which qualities that you bring to this office do you want members to consider when voting for you: My experience includes planning and forecasting when I worked as a manager in a retail store. Additionally, I earned my Master degree in Public Administration & Human Organizational Sciences, while working for a suburban township in Philadelphia during graduate school. My knowledge and experience expanded as a departmental manager during law school for my corporate employer, planning and budgeting for the facilities management and new construction projects as well as directing IT services for the entire organization across multiple locations domestically and internationally. Finally, I utilized my years of knowledge and experience for myself in starting and running my own law practice from 2008-2020.
