Hi all,

I am excited to announce that Ashley Hearn will be joining our department as our new tech support/communications specialist. Ashley will be a valuable addition to our team, bringing her expertise and enthusiasm to help us continue to excel in our projects, flyers, recruitment and with our tech support.

Ashley comes to us with a strong background in graphic design and marketing along with her tech-savvy expertise and she is eager to get started and contribute to our success.

Ashley will be starting May 2nd, so please make time to stop in, introduce yourself, and welcome her to our department.

I want to thank Susie Fauble for her hard work leading the search, to the search committee for all their effort, and to all of you who met with her during the interview process.

I am looking forward to working with Ashley to increase the department's visibility and impact.

Silvana
