Her career focus has been in sales, marketing, business development and management with varied companies including Xerox and CPT. She spent over 10 years with AT&T both in the field and headquarters working with small, mid-sized and Fortune 100 clients. She and John used their technology and business backgrounds to create GETFUNDED because they wanted to support K-12 education.
