Summary

I have enjoyed a successful career in agricultural research. After almost 20 years in Clarke county, I chose to retire here in January of this year. One of my goals is to serve this community. I am seeking a Poll Clerk position in the upcoming election cycle after reviewing the requirements on the ACCgov.com website. Thank you for your consideration.
