Becky started her career as the assistant treasurer for her Alma Mater, Martins Ferry City Schools.  After twelve years she accepted the treasurer/CFO position for the Wellsville Local School District in Northeast Ohio.  Her love of the Central Ohio area found her accepting the assistant treasurer position at the fastest growing school district in the State of Ohio, Olentangy Local Schools.  After a year and a half she was promoted to the Treasurer/CFO role when her predecessor joined Upper Arlington Schools.  The district grew over twice its size to over 16,000 students under her financial leadership.  After nine years with Olentangy Schools she was recruited by the New Albany-Plain Local Schools and has been with this district for three years.  Becky has had the fortune of leading districts considered both wealthy and poor which gives her a unique perspective on the various challenges diverse districts face.

During these career transitions Becky also helped lead OASBO.  She held the offices of Southeast Region Director, Vice-President, President Elect, President and Immediate Past President.  Through the years she has served on numerous committees and continues to serve on the Legislative Committee as well as many focus committees.   Becky is also asked to speak on a variety of topics not only for OASBO seminars but other state organizations as well.
