Finance Manager
LASE Specialized Education

⭐️1. What do you love most about LASE? That it is a culture of care. LASE is where empathy matters-not just for the students, but also among our supportive and compassionate staff.

⭐️2. What is something you have learned from working at LASE, or from a student? That progress looks different for everyone. Success isn't always big or obvious. Sometimes it's a small breakthrough, a moment of connection, or a step forward that we as a staff celebrate together as a win for the team!

⭐️3. Fun fact about you that people might not know. Well, the staff at LASE know this about me, but not everyone - I sing and act in community theatre productions in and around St. Louis.

⭐️4. What is your favorite snack and drink during the day? I usually go for a crunchy, salty snack like chips or popcorn. My drink is a regular Coke or Pepsi (and I LOVE to add a lime if I have one.)

⭐️5. If you could describe your role at LASE in 3 words, what would they be? I'm the FFM - Fantastic Finance Manager! Or it could be fanatical, or flighty, or fruity, depending on who you ask.
