As the 2024-2025 OkACTE President-Elect, I am committed to fostering excellence in membership engagement. My philosophy centers around mentorship, leadership support, networking, and professional learning. Communication is a key strategy—I believe in keeping our members supported in hoping they will become engaged in the leadership opportunities and constantly advocating for Career and Technical Education (CTE). Having served as a Career Tech Teacher for over 25 years, I understand the importance of knowing our “why.” When elected, my mission will be to ensure members grasp the significance of their why, feel supported in their profession, and the importance of advocating for CTE and telling its story. Let’s continue building a strong OkACTE community together!
