Where did you work prior to joining CYFS? What was your role there, and what did it entail?
Before joining CYFS, I worked 12 years at the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office as budget director. My responsibilities included developing and controlling the department’s multi-million-dollar agency budget, obtaining and managing federal grants to expand the operating budget, and preparing written and oral presentations to the governor and Legislature to justify appropriations requests. I also oversaw project management between agencies and administration, monitored and audited monthly revenue and expenditures, took part in strategic planning for budgeting and staffing operations, and various other things such as benefit enrollment, human resources, payroll, accounts payable and deposits.
