Rhonda's Experience

Rhonda brings 30 years of diverse experience in management, community outreach, and customer service. Her experience in CD8 goes all the way back to being a student and graduate from Greeley West High School. Later, she would be a parent to CD8 students/graduates, as well as serving two full terms on the Board of Education for Greeley-Evans School District 6

Rhonda's leadership is focused on care, foresight, and innovation, while keeping the many challenges and obstacles that students encounter in mind. Her priority was to stand up to those challenges and advocate for the educators, families, businesses, and the community we served.

A quality public education system is vital for the future of Colorado.  Our students are our future leaders, and their success is worth investing in!  There has been a lot of great work on behalf of students, families, teachers, educators and communities across Colorado. Rhonda believes there’s still more work ahead of us, and she's up for the challenge!
