The people I get to work with help some of the children in Central Iowa who need it the most. Our AEA system has an overarching goal of of helping every child in Iowa graduate and be fully prepared for success in life after school, whether that is college, work, or citizenship. I support these fine folks overseeing the physical operations of our facilities, supervise van drivers and all van operations as well as custodial operations, warehousing, shipping and receiving, grounds and maintenance staff, and operations.I also help provide leadership in various committees (SSPC, Crisis, Diversity and Engagement, and Leaders group). I work to minimize our operations costs so we can spend more money on a piece of occupational therapy equipment, or enable us to pay for a few more hours of time from a braillest or audiologist working in a school, or more printing for an anti-bullying campaign. In short, I save money so we can spend it on our children. It's easy to go to work every day at Heartland! Show less
