I have served in every Geo Unit level within IEEE. Starting as a section treasurer and ultimately being the Vice President for Member and Geographic Activities (MGA) in 2022.

In order to broaden my understanding of IEEE and to help myself grow as a volunteer, in 2024 I am a member of both the Publication Services and Products Board and TAB/PSPB Products and Services Committee.

This year I am also chairing another IEEE Board of Directors Ad Hoc Committee on Leadership Continuity and Efficiency focusing the following:

• Benchmark leadership transition activities with other leading associations and volunteer-led organizations.
• Explore means to create year-over-year continuity and enhance collaboration in the leadership of IEEE.
• Develop pilot activities to facilitate continuity and efficiency within the terms of leadership positions.

I have 20 years of experience in the testing of insulating liquids and management of analytical laboratories. I have provided numerous technical presentations and published technical articles within the power industry.
