DSST Team,
We are excited to announce that after an extensive search, we will be welcoming our new Chief Operating Officer (COO) Tameeka Smith to DSST Public Schools next week.
Tameeka brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to DSST from years of executive experience, mostly in the healthcare sector. Joining us from SmileHealth Denver, where she served as the President & Chief Operating Officer, Tameeka is recognized as an innovative and key contributor to high-level planning and decision-making. She has seen extensive success in leading businesses with experience in operations, finance, human resources, public relations, and much more.
Her robust work experience is grounded in a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of Denver, and a Master of Business Administration and Minor in Operations Management from Regis University.
Tameeka also serves on two nonprofit boards supporting women, children and underserved communities. One is College Track Colorado, an organization dedicated to helping students become competitive college applicants, thrive at school, and succeed after graduation. The other is the Star Institute, the premier treatment, research and education center for children and adults with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).
Life is full and busy (in a good way) for Tameeka- between her and her husband, they have six children and four grandchildren, and making memories with her family is her first love. Second to that, she loves the arts, skiing, life-altering movies, and social justice podcasts.
Please join me in welcoming Tameeka Smith to our team. She will be spending lots of time in the coming weeks getting to know our collective work so if you see her in your school please introduce yourself!
Bill
