I am excited to serve STC as treasurer. My goal is to help ensure the ongoing financial viability of the Society, which has contributed invaluably to my professional and personal development. In this way, I hope to help ensure that STC continues to serve technical communication students, professionals, educators, and leaders for years to come.
