Get to Know Your Executive
Council
NJASFAA has always been an organization about people. During the course
of the year we will be highlighting members of NJASFAA’s Executive
Council. I hope you find these mini bios informative and learn a little bit
more about our colleagues throughout the state.

The Runaway Jury |
Why did you get into Aid?
Post-partum depression – actually, it was an accident. I was basically
a stay-at-home mom looking for a part-time, evening job and a friend at The
Cittone Institute, Kathy Rachel, needed someone to cover evening hours,
so she hired, taught and trained me, the rest is, as they say, history.
Why did you participate in
NJASFAA?
Because every five years we get the Grease Band at the Fall Conference.
As a one-person office, it is imperative to be involved and network with
others, there is no one in my office to bounce ideas off of and ask advice
of.
How did you get to participate in
Executive Council/as a Committe Chair?
I was asked by Eric Locklear to chair the Non-Traditional Concerns Committee
and then the following year Federal Relations.
Advice you would give to a new
Financial Aid Professional:
GET OUT NOW!!!
Get involved, network with your colleagues from other institutions, you’ll
not only have found great sounding boards, but probably life-long friends
as well.

Beyond Greed and Fear |
Why did you get into Aid?
Because of my accounting background.
Why did you participate in
NJASFAA?
I enjoy working with other people. Have learned a lot from other members
of NJASFAA. Coming from a one person office it has given me an opportunity
to meet other Financial Aid Directors who are in the same position as myself.
How did you get to participate in
Executive Council/as a Committe Chair?
I was recruited after volunteering to help on the Conference Committee.
Advice you would give to a new
Financial Aid Professional:
Get Involved.
