It is my privilege to serve the over 300 teachers and 3500 students in our District. Working for the Foundation is a good fit for me because not only do I have a background in education, but I have also been fortunate during my 16 years living in Hastings, to serve on many Board of Directors, to work as a volunteer for youth organizations, to help organize school and community events, and to coach youth teams. 
Every donation you graciously share with the Foundation will support our mission to expand what is possible for students, staff, and the District. Please feel free to contact me with questions or ideas to help grow our Foundation.
