I wrote an 1,800-word article about for CASBO’s quarterly magazine.
CASBO Spring13 – Digging into data:

When it comes to quantitatively measuring student learning, we hear a lot about standardized testing and the tracking of student performance results to assess the success – or failure – of school districts.

But while teaching students is the primary objective of school districts, there are many other measures of a district’s overall success, especially when taking business efficiency into consideration.

From the CASBO website:

“The California Association of School Business Officials is the premier resource on business practices and policies for California’s public education community. CASBO, a nonprofit statewide professional association, is dedicated to promoting excellence and professionalism in all aspects of school business. Founded in 1928, CASBO serves more than 3,000 members by providing professional development, promoting best practices strategies and creating professional collaboration and networking opportunities.”

It’s me. I’m the writer on this wall. I’ve been having my way with words since 1993.

I started writing professionally while I was still a college student. I’m a wife, mother, foodie, artist, news junkie and recovering journalist.

I’ve worked in higher education communications since 2016 at my alma mater, Fresno State. My professional writing work can be found at Fresno State News.

Before, I was a print journalist with The Fresno Bee for almost 19 years. When that part of my professional career ended, I pivoted to a different direction.

I’m active with my church, Community United Church of Christ, an inclusive and progressive Christian church in Fresno, California.
