ADVISOR
MRS. LE
- 5 Years Teaching
- 21 Years in Business
In 2017, I stepped away from my role as leader of the Strategic Programs Office at Cisco Systems to jump into the classroom and help students understand and pursue their full potential. Outside of school, I serve in my church, travel the world with my husband (and chaperone extraordinaire), and hang out with my adult children.
