Good afternoon. I'm now going to call the Wednesday, August 13, 2025 meeting of the North County Commission to order. I'm going to read the order on remote participation. On March 28th, 2025, Governor Healey
signed into law House Bill 62, an act extending certain COVID 19 measures adopted during the state of emergency, which includes a 2-year extension of the option for public bodies to hold remote meetings by suspending certain
provisions of the open meeting law, Mass General Law 3A, sections 19 through 25. That action was effective immediately extending the current option for remote meetings through June 30th, 2027.
I apologize. We seem to be having some issues with our remote equipment, but we're going to continue this meeting and hopefully we'll be repaired. While you're listening, I'm going to ask everyone if
they can stand and join me in solutions. I pledge to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you.
Roll call. Commissioner Sty, >> I am present, sir. >> Commissioner Khan, Commissioner Shay present. We have a full board item number number three. You want to read that, Joe? We're going into executive session. Yes. >> Okay. I make a motion we go into
executive session master law chapter 30A section 21 subsection A subsection 3 to discuss strategy with respect to collective bargaining or litigation and open meeting may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining or litigating position of the public body and the chair.
>> Second motion made and seconded on going into executive session. Uh I may mention that we will be returning to complete our full agenda and we'll come back uh under item number four on the executive
session to Commissioner Sty. >> Yes, sir. I vote yes. >> Commissioner Collins, yes. >> Commissioner Shay votes yes. We're in executive session. Would you 2020 meeting? >> We're going to be back on the record and
go right to number four. minutes. >> I'll write that down. Hopefully we have any minutes this week. >> None today. Okay. No meat today. Okay. No today. Okay. Number five, appointments.
Sam Eds, County Chief Information Officer, Departmental Update. In your packet, you'll see a package from Sam titled information technology
strategy dated August 2025. Welcome Sam. >> Sure. Thank you. If I may >> go ahead, John, you can open this up. >> Yep. Briefly, commissioners, um this uh summer we've um spoken to the chair who wishes to have department heads come in and provide you updates programmatically
on where things stand. Um it's a fortuitous time because many of these department heads have also just completed their FY26 goal planning for performance evaluations. So everybody's kind of in the mode of looking up and looking ahead. Um this is the second meeting. I wanted to let the commissioners know I've lined up facilities. Mr. Bignon will be prepared
to give us an update in two weeks on um all things facilities. But today um it's Sam's opportunity to give you an update. And I just want to let you know um throughout the rest of the summer you can expect the remaining departments from the um county to be in to give you updates. >> Great. >> Good work.
>> Commissioners, what a pleasure. >> Able to see in a while. We've kind of little short staffed so can't break away >> what you've got in front of you. And Bill, I don't know if you're able to show it on the screen for those who are tuned in, but if not, that's all right.
We've got uh try to break down what we're trying to get to not in the next few months, although some of these things we've been working on, but more of a longer term uh time frame, two years, four years, 5 years, although technology changes so fast. What we do here is really, you know, it's a not a
shot in the dark, but a shot in the semi shadows. So, we've broken it down into, if you go to the second page, we've got uh six areas and then some smaller areas that we tried to break down our folkai
into. So, that first page there, which you don't have to look at now because we're going to go into more details, although we're not going to go into everything, is a good summary for you what the number of initiatives that we have in each of these areas. And the areas are software cyber security
um registry operations and let me just note that I haven't had a chance to go over these with uh the register or senior registry management although some of these things we have talked about um information access which we'll talk about infrastructure and IT service and IT service is what we as in IT can offer
to everyone here in the county and at the registry and to some extent the other the towns and everybody in the towns that we deal with and then in our smaller scope area, some of the larger trends in IT, artificial intelligence, hardware and network safety. So before
we get into the details, I want to let you know we're going to hear more about this as we get into them. Our biggest priority for this year is the Tyler uh enterprise resource planning software that we have and everybody uses, including the Aggie. We're rolling out uh got a pilot in place right now,
something called the employee access portal. This is a web-based thing that allows, amongst other things, employees to ask for time off online. They can see their time off balances. It's up to date. They can ask for time off online. They can see tax documents from last
year. They can check a bunch of other things. It's something that we've been working on for a while. We just had to work with Tyler to make sure that things were working correctly. So, we're going to run a pilot with Bill Buckley's um staff and then roll it out to other places. This is a necessary precursor
for another Tyler feature that we have called time and attendance and that's basically electronic time sheets which will be another thing that'll make stuff easier. So that's our top priority for this year. Another thing we're going to work on is integrating the wall recreational facility technology wise
and IT service wise more closely with us. So we've been working on that for a while helping them get more cyber safe and we'll do some more work on that. So again, you'll run into that as we go through here. So if you go to the next page, this is the software stuff. Um,
I'm glad you have it in color because in black and white it's not as easy to see. On every one of these pages, we've got it prioritized high, medium, and low. And that's just the stuff we're going to concentrate on first. So again, I'm not going to go over all these. I just want to point out some stuff for you. The
high stuff is obviously the things that we will work on uh above all the others. So on our software page, it's been three-ish years, I think, since the IT department, maybe a little longer, were consolidated, but we still have some software licenses,
excuse me, that were bought under the registry and some that were bought under the county. So it's better for us, where possible to consolidate those licenses. And if there was one product at the registry doing one thing and another project at the county that does the same thing, we've made a lot of progress in
these three years of if there's no reason to have two things doing the same thing, we consolidate them. So we're continuing to do that because it's much easier to manage and it saves us money. Uh the second thing there, it's called KeyPass. This is a password keeper. So I
know some of you may use this. You have nowadays you have a million passwords. How do you keep track of them? How do you know which ones to use? This is a free piece of software that's highly regarded. We're going to hopefully roll that out for folks here so that it allows them to not write their passwords
down on a piece of paper and slip it under the keyboard or whatever it is. It's not a safe thing to do. So, we're going to do that. And we're also working on Windows upgrades to get everybody up to the most recent version of Windows, which keeps everybody safe. And then, as you can see, there's a whole bunch of other things in there. What I'll ask you
to do at some point when you have a chance if you want to look through this if you look through all the non high priority things and you have any questions you can just get in touch with me and I'll be happy to walk you through it. >> So if we move off by me >> so the grays are like not priority. You
want to do it but the top ones are yellow. >> We're yeah we're going we want to do all of these again. It's a long time frame. >> What's the brown? >> Brown is just the lowest priority. >> The lowest. Okay. >> Right. So let's let me give you an example. So on this page, software, the last one there is called unified communications.
>> So companies that have lots and lots of money and lots and lots of people have been doing unified communications for a long time. Microsoft has this piece of software called Teams. A lot of people use Teams now. It allows you, you're sitting at your desk. You can look down in Teams and you can see everybody uh
who's in your group. Could be the whole company, could be your department. You can see it with a little indicator on who they are. Are they here today? Where are they? Are they in a meeting? whatever it is. Oh, I want to send them a little chat message. I want to send them an email. I want to set up a meeting with them. And if Teams is integrated into your phone system, you
can even have a phone conversation with them, right? All from one one uh application, Microsoft Teams. That's called unified communications. >> Okay, >> that's nice to have. Are we going to get there? Maybe five years, but that's we got a lot of other things to work. >> You do the same thing with Google. Google Meet.
>> Google has something Google Meet is pretty close. >> I've had a client do that. They do Google, but same idea. Okay. >> Okay. >> So that's something. Can we get there? Sure. Is it high priority? Nope. Not even medium. So if you go to the next one, cyber security. Our high elements
here are there's this document that most places have and that Massachusetts is really high on called written information security plan. Not going to bother you with what that means. It's just cyber security related.
tells it's a a written document that explains where your information security priorities are and how you deal with things and there's other things that we have to do. The second one is multiffactor authentication. If you have a online bank account, you can't just
say, "Hey, I'm Commissioner Sty." You have to prove who you are because it'll send you a text thing that you have to put the numbers in or something like that. We've got that in place for most of our priority applications. It's a cyber cyber insurance requirement. We're just going to make sure that that's all
there. And the hackers are so good now that that thing you do with your bank where you say I'm commissioner sty and it sends you back a code. A lot of hackers are in the middle of that and they can send you a code. You log in to their site, not your bank, and then
you're in trouble. So multiffactor authentication is changing on a regular basis. So, we're going to start looking into ways as that evolves to move to other things. And the third one there is after we had our security incident in
the fall, we moved the county to a fairly advanced networking system. In the old days, you had a server in your place and everybody who wants to be on the network says, "Hey, I'm Director Cronin. Hey, I'm uh Bill Buckley." And then you get to do what you want to do.
Now, we don't have that server here anymore. we're in the Microsoft cloud that gives us a whole bunch of advantages which we're not fully taking advantage of. So we want to continue to show people how to take advantage of that and we have some more defenses that we can put in place. So we got some more
work to do to explain to everybody how that works. So those are the high priorities for cyber security. If you move to the next slide which is the registry again I have not gone over all all of these with the register and with senior
registry management. So these can change a little bit, but you'll notice that there's nothing high here. And the reason is that the registry's main system is BrownTech. Brown Techch is an extremely optimized system. It does what it does very well. It works on an IBM
system which is highly secure and it uh doesn't have anything major coming up except uh you'll see the third one down there. And this is not a high thing because it it's not going to take place this fiscal year. The basic
IBM system runs on hardware called the power system. So we got to we'll upgrade that sometime in the next two to three years. But there's little things we're going to do for the registry. Um but we do that with the consent and help of the registry the register and his senior
management staff. So there's some things there that we can take a look at. Can I ask a question over this? >> Go ahead. >> So, I remember vaguely, but I do remember when we had the Abraham report >> and the ripples, guys. >> Yeah. And the ripples. That's right, sir. Uh, there was talk about maybe
moving away from Brown Tech or there was suggestion. It wasn't definite, but I remember I remember I'm looking at this report, but there was something about, well, maybe we should. So, is it you're saying Brown Tech is pretty solid, so it's here to stay. We're not looking at >> evaluate that. There's there was talk in
the Ripples report that maybe the state was going to move away from it. I haven't been able to verify that. There are state-run registries using Brown Tech still. >> Okay. >> The Brown Techch system is uh you know we talk every day with the head folks at
Brown Tech and they still making changes in there. They're very responsive. Okay. >> Until we can identify >> something coming out of the state that says you need to look at it. >> Right. And you have to also make the registry management like you said. >> Yeah. for these things. But there's as far as moving away from Brown Techch,
there's no indication that that's >> necessary. Again, who knows what happens in the next 3 to 5 years, but the system works extremely well for what the registry does with it. >> Excellent. >> Um, and the IBM backbone is great. If we were on
>> a Microsoft backbone, because Microsoft is a high target for hackers and stuff, then maybe you get a little more worried about it. But IBM, no, no system is hack free. But IBM is a very secure system. So, >> all right. All right. Good. No, thank you. >> We always keep an eye on it. But
>> thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. K. >> Your next one, information access. So, what we mean by this here is we at the county and especially at the registry, what we do is information based. There's a lot of things that we cover that has
excellent amounts of information and we want to make sure that we make that easier for people internal to the county, the registry to get to it and as necessary the towns. So, some of the stuff here we're concentrating on to make it easier for people to get access to that information. The first one there
we talked about, we want to get that Tyler in employee access portal in place and then thereafter the time and attendance module. That's that electronic time sheets. And then the second one there is something that I've been thinking about. There's so much stuff that goes on here.
Um, the registry sees so many people in the county. It's such a valuable resource. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a dashboard? Thank you, commissioner. >> Wouldn't it be nice if there was a dashboard to, you know, anybody could look up, hey, we serve served this many clients, you know, this month, this
year, uh, the county set up this many um, notaries. So, just making dashboards in place in a dash so anybody at any time can do it. all of the services that are supplied to the towns for the county like all the work that was done for ARPA
you guys know you're told that be awesome >> on a regular basis from the director and the assistant county director but >> love that >> we want to put those information >> more easily retrievable >> that would be great >> if you go to the next slide infrastructure
these are the IT systems and equipment that are in place to make everything go and here the high one here is what we talked about before we got to get the golf course with the wall and recreational facility guys. Thank you. >> into more closely integrated with us so
we can keep them safe and get them what they need. So Mark McDonald is over there at the golf course on a regular basis whenever they need anything. >> Um Sue Calabro, she's getting into position over there. She's, you know, needs a couple pieces of equipment, whatever she needs. We got her a new
laptop recently so she can do the uh golf course events on the go. And they do some of that with the U key times. Don't they do that? They have a website in there. It's Yeah, it's all computerized. It's amazing. >> Oh, when she has a tournament, she can
take this laptop that we got her and go up into the restaurant area and with the laptops, she can put stuff up on the TV screens. >> So, she's got a lot of ideas. We'll help facilitate that. >> So, there's a whole bunch of stuff going on. Uh what's the next one? Okay. And
then the next one is IT service. Again, the way I characterized it was to improve IT service to internal and external customers. You can see here I don't have any high ones here because this will be defined as we interact with those customers. But one of the the top
thing that I have here is that we're always doing projects. I want to make sure that and I've been working on this with the director. When we get an assignment, if I know what steps I need to do in order to make that assignment happen, I want to be able to show the
director, here's those steps, here's the deadlines, here's the people involved, and eventually here's the costs. So, he can look at it and say, well, all right, let's change this. And then I can also show him the progress. So, there's many ways to this. You can do it online, you can do it with software. So, that's just
one example. We want to show the steps and make sure that the steps in the progress are visible. And then the last last one, yes, the last one is our smaller bindings. You all have heard about how artificial intelligence is everywhere. There's a
lot of advantages. There's a lot of potential disadvantages. So, we're going to start again at the director's behest to put AI in places where it can help us. One example is AI is doing a lot of financial analysis. So, can it help the
treasur's office? Can it help Phil with budget stuff? We'll take a look. Um, and one of the last things here is network safety. We're just about to put in place uh enhancements to one of our email
protection softwares, software pieces I should say. It's uh provided by something called Mcast and they have this new thing that'll be in place in two or three months where when you get an email from someone, one of the things that happens a lot is called business
email compromise. You got email and it says, uh, "Hey, Commissioner Sy, it's Sam Evans. I'm out of town. I can't get to my email. Would you mind sending me uh your login so I could just log in to my email?" And you're like, "Oh, boy." You know, I'll do that. I'll help him.
and it looks like it's from me. It says Sam Evans. It has the North County Seal, whatever it is. So, you go for it. It happens a lot with HR, with treasur's office. It says, "Oh, hey, I'm changing my bank account. I need you to change my direct deposit information in the system. Thank you, Dan Capra." That's
called business email compromised. So, this new thing we're putting in place will say at the top there'll be a little banner that says, "You have never received an email from this person before." So even if the email address looks correct or
anything like that, it will flag it as this is something that to be aware of and it comes in different colors and identifies a whole bunch of possible attack vectors. This thing is called cyber graph. >> Cyber graph >> graph cyber graph. It's from a company called LCAST.
>> So it's just one of the things that would is going in place with this upgraded version of one of the pieces of software. that in in response is that was that response to the incident we had like a year ago? >> No. >> No. Okay. >> This we've had we've had this software in place for many many years. It's just
>> the company is mandating it at some point in the future, but we're taking advantage of it now. >> Cybercraft from a company called My Cat. >> I'll I'll send it to you. >> Yeah. Okay. Well, I'll put it in my office. >> Yeah. I'll I'll I'll send you some stuff to look at.
>> So, these are just the little things. So that's just one example of the things we're doing to keep stuff safe. So again, if you're interested, you can take a look through all the non highlevel stuff in here. Let me know if you have any questions.
And uh yeah, this will change because as I said, it stuff changes all the time and if obviously if anything else comes up at any point, we shift to handle that. Sure. >> Just very briefly, I want to thank uh
Sam for giving you this update. There were there's a couple things I wanted to add on. When he was discussing the information access um piece, he went into some detail about a priority uh for time and attendance employee access portal. Um this year when we put together the department head performance
evaluation goals, there are at least two goals. This is one of them that involve multiple department heads. They're going to be operating as a team. So Sam will be um spearheading this particular item within his PE but he'll be inter integrated with human resources the
treasury and at least one beta department um to start working towards a model that can be used across the county. So it's going to take a lot of work a lot of time um they first have to get through the employee assistance portal piece which should be done soon
and then start moving in the direction of this. But I want to let them know this is this is something that will be more common in the years to come as departments begin to work collaboratively rather than as silos. So just wanted to add that commissioner. Thank you. >> Thank you Mr. >> Ch.
>> Yes. >> Chair. So number one thank you for a great report. It was it's always pleasure to hear what's going on. Uh probably very direct. Again, my concern cyber security in in light of what happened, there were certain things they suggest that we do. Have we address
those things and take care of that? That's all I want to accomplish. >> Not all of them, but you know, we we've done the major ones and we're continuing to >> continue >> close holes and Okay. >> do them. So, part of >> part of this thing is is there, although we would have done it anyway.
>> Yeah. But we're better. >> I mean, it's I tell you, I think I get these on a personal level. They're crazy. It looks It looks so real. I mean, Bank of America looks like a real thing. It's really not. It's They're getting more and more sophisticated. And if you just do one thing, you're in
trouble, you know. >> So, all the county employees are taking state sponsored cyber security training. >> Okay, good. >> Which is through another company called No Before. M >> so we split out the lessons into six small lessons 10 to 15 minutes
throughout the year and it covers all these the business email compromise um AI generated things don't scan QR codes it goes over the same lessons in different ways throughout the whole year has taken the registry employees who don't have that amount of time and who
don't necessarily have internet at their computers take a consolidated version of that once a year so they're all they've taken it So everybody's being educated. >> I'm scanning a QR code twice. It was for a charity. >> Yep. >> And it looked legit and I scanned it and right away I got but I noticed came from
my credit card. This is fraudulent. Shut down my card. But it's amazing. It's just crazy. >> That's Anyway, thank you. That's all I had. Good job. >> Anything else? >> And as always, let me know if you need any anything or you have any questions.
>> Thank you. >> Any of us are happy to help at any time. >> Thank you. Thank you, Sam. >> Thank you very much. >> That was item number five. >> Up the good work. >> We're going to item number six. Public comment. We have none. I'm sorry.
Public comment. Each week we allow time on our agenda for folks to come in and talk to us about any item on the agenda or to call in for public comment. We're now at the public comment time. John, do you aware of anybody else?
>> No, sir. Last call for public comment. Seeing none, we'll move to seven. All business, we have none. Number eight, personal matters for consideration.
>> Director Coleman. >> Um, good afternoon, commissioners. Uh before you is a request to sign off on uh economic terms of the registry deeds collective bargaining unit contract. As the commissioners know, the county came to terms with uh two contracts,
maintenance and registry. Uh this afternoon, we request your sign off on this time sheet, which would allow the benefits to flow to the employees in the union that have agreed to these terms. Um it is important to note that the funds for this contract and other
contracts were appropriated uh and approved by the advisory board this past spring. The funds are appropriated within the FY26 budget. Next se this coming September at the next advisory board meeting. Um funds will be requested of the advisory board to
transfer um back to the departments that are making these expenses uh to make them hold. So this afternoon, we're looking for your approval to approve your looking for your approval to provide for these financial benefits at this time for the contract that was recently endorsed by the county
commissioners. Chair, do you want to read the um proposal by Michelleini, HR director? >> Commissioner calls. >> Okay. The FY26 collective bargaining
unit contract negotiations with registry union resulted in the following agreed upon total FY26 increases for employees in that bargain unit. Number one, an additional $100 in longevity pay totaling $1,000. Uh two, a training statement of $250
totaling $6,250. And three, a 3% cost of living increase totaling $44,88510. To date, the 3% salary increase is retroactive to July 1st, 2025, and the longevity and training stipen payments that have not been processed for the
registry union employees. Um, HR Director Leini is requesting our approval to implement the new July 1st, 2025 salary rates and to issue the 3% salary retro payment to the longevity and training stipen payments in this
week's payroll to ensure we remain in compliance with the ratified agreement we negotiated uh and avoid further delay. The FY26 total amount for the increases outlined above um in the amount of $52,13518
is to be paid from the FY26 budget to the employees in the registry of D's collective bargaining unit. These funds have previously been appropriated by the advisory board into the salary reserve account as part of the FY26 budget. will be requesting that the advisory board
transfer these funds from the salary reserve account to the department salary line at its meeting on September 17, 2025. In the meantime, sufficient funds are available in the department salary line for this week's payroll in the payments reference above.
So exposure. So it's my motion to um um move forward with the proposal uh from as outlined by Michelle being the HR. >> I think it would be also appropriate to answer the sum would be $52,3518.
>> Correct. >> In in in relationship to funding uh that contract for the registry deeds that we agree. >> Okay. Yes, I agree. Sir, so I'll second that motion as read Josh.
>> Yep. >> Oh, you have a motion. >> Motion made and seconded. All in favor? >> I It is a certain copy. >> Number six. >> All right. Number seven, payroll and expense warrants. >> Uh, number Yeah.
>> Number nine, >> payroll expense warrants for approval. >> None this week. Okay. >> Okay. Number 10, report from the procurement department bid openings and contract awards. >> None this week. >> Excellent. Number 11, report of the county director.
>> Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A few items. Um, Julian and Tusca sent out an email to all department heads. uh requesting all FY26 supplemental transfer and capital items be due to him on August 22nd week from Friday. This is an announcement to
the department. It's got a week to go. Uh tomorrow I believe economy commissioners understand there is a RSVP volunteer celebration event at the four points in Sheridan from 11:01. Um RSVP coordinator um Lucille Cassiss has put
together an outstanding event and very well organized. We're expecting over 130 people um as we celebrate the volunteers that do great work for that program that's tomorrow in Norwood. Um let's see. I just want to let the commissioners know I met this past week
with Karen Price, the new advisory board member from NEM um for about an hour and a half. We had a nice chat about the FY26 budget process, what brought us to uh where we are today. Um, I have to tell you she's a very intelligent uh, locked in individual with a lot of
experience public management as well. I think you'll enjoy working with her and she looked very much on to the September meeting. I want to let the commissioners know that the smoking policy was um, reviewed by labor council and she recommended that ask me have a look at it and if they have an interest in doing
any kind of impact bargaining or discussions to let us know. There's deadline associated with that request. Um, hearing none by that time. We'll bring it back to you for consideration. Um, there is no meeting scheduled commissioner through you for next week. So, our next meeting will be on April,
excuse me, on August 27th. Um, as I mentioned, I expect to have our facilities manager, um, Mr. John sitting in for Mr. McGawan present to you an update on all things facility management in the county. uh tomorrow meeting with the Aggie
superintendent uh Jeremy Gay to kind of catch up on and uh begin a process of uh sharing information with him. I hope to have monthly meetings with him as I did with Mr. Martin to keep an open dialogue and work towards common uh common goals. I'd also finally this afternoon like to
introduce to you uh commissioners Andrew Lever. Andrew is um coming to us as a a contractor. He's working on a project that is uh quite important. We've received all of the files from the Blue House, the registry involving
procurement, uh, facility management, uh, a host of ancient documents and other various documents that he's going through. Um, the room next to my office has been packed with records as he makes his way through them. Um, he's been collaborating this work with Mr. Buckley. Um, this work not only involves
review, but also digitization. um at Bill's direction, there's been a lot of scanning of these documents to create an electronic library um of these files so that the county has access to them uh without delay. Anything that is deemed to be necessary to um remain in
our custody will be put downstairs in our new central file room. But if Andrew, if you want to come on up, uh give yourself a chance to meet the commissioners. Uh it's been a pleasure working with Andrew, who's a gentleman from the county, and I want to introduce you to him this afternoon. Andrew. >> Andrew. >> Yeah. Thank you all for having me.
Coming to you from the great town of Planeville uh where I've been since kindergarten. Um so it's been a pleasure working um with the team here. Um, as you guys have probably seen in the room, it's gotten a little bit lighter today, but we've gone through all of the documents that were in the room last
week. Um, and then have scanned over 10,000 pages, um, putting those up into our digitized document, um, central kind of repository. um and also um not only consolidated what we need but also u made sure in compliance with state
policy um on the retention schedule for documents that we've gotten rid of some of the documents that we didn't need um a lot of which dating back to the 80s and '9s um prior to any of those being able to be put online when they were first created. So been going through a lot of different things and through a
lot of different departments whether it be procurement, facilities, um that kind of stuff there, but have made really great progress on the project so far. >> Come across uh Mr. Call's name a few times back there. >> Um I've come across a lot of Collins uh of multiple Collinses. Um great name.
>> There's been a lot of uh a lot of consistent names on some of these documents. Um >> I'm sure there were no stadies there. None of those. >> I haven't found any of those. No, not there. Yeah. Now, what you just graduated college, tell the boy a little bit. >> Yes. Yeah, I uh recently graduated American University this spring uh with a bachelor's in political science and a
minor in business administration. Um and so back home um looking to continue working, continue paying off federal student loans. Um and yeah, going through that there. Uh but had a great time in college. Um throughout university and throughout kind of my career, I've been able to work in
