| Katarina Pena | |
"My name is Katarina Pena but most of my coworkers call me Kat. I started in Grants Management in September 2017 as one of two trainers providing training and assistance on the Grants Management Enterprise (GME) system. I studied to become a teacher because I love learning and wanted to help others have quality educational experiences. My background is in both the private and public sectors and since 2010 I have worked in the human resources, employee development and training fields. I believe that continuing education and professional development are great ways to help us develop professionally as well as personally. My goal as Training Supervisor is to provide valuable training programs that reach beyond the GME system and that positively impact Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and ADE employees."
