Why I am Running
I am running because I have a passion for GCCD, higher education and the opportunities a college provides and community both for education but as an economic driver. I believe we have done some really great things in a short period of time but still have some unfinished business such as accreditation that I want to be a part of.
Top 3 Priorities
1. Finish the Accreditation process
2. Expand the trades and nursing programs in our college.
3. Expand the entrepreneurial programs that are beginning at our College.
