| Statement |
Being a dedicated listener of KPFT, I have always desired to be a part of, and make a positive impact on, the wonderful Houston institution. I am active as a volunteer. I am currently working for the Houston Museum District Association and have been an energetic member in many local and national campaigns. I believe my experience in the non-profit sector would be useful, and I am ready to support KPFT in any way possible.
Thank you.
