Other: As IATTI president, I organized and planned summer automotive instructor update training at IVY Tech Indianapolis. In 2019, I spearheaded the IATTI movement to join Indiana ACTE (I-ACTE) as an affiliate member. This move was intended to support professional development for the Indiana automotive instructor, while also joining the broader CTE community in state and national advocacy efforts.
Platform Statement:
As a dedicated member of the Trade and Industrial Policy Committee, I understand the importance of quality professional development and collective CTE advocacy. I desire to lead in the position of T&I Vice President, because I believe that my efforts in working to align resources can help to support CTE educators across the national landscape. I offer a strong background in association leadership, professional development, and employment in the automotive services field. I have also served as an automotive services instructor at the secondary and postsecondary levels. In the coming years, I aim to serve all Trade and Industrial division members with the same level of encouragement and commitment that I offer to my local students and industry partners. I pledge to be consistently engaged in the work of growing our association while both celebrating successes and working to build upon the unique strengths of ACTE members.
