“I have some familiarity with KDOT and a general knowledge of the agency's budget,” he said. “I'm looking forward to learning the finer details and how the entire budget process works here.”

After eight years, she joined the Office of the Chairman of the Department to support the strategic organizational development and advice on executive affairs.
