About Me

Hi, I'm Brett Righter. A graduate from the University of Arizona with a degree in Business Administration. While earning my degree, I worked full time with the Springfield Township Public Works Department in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Balancing a full academic schedule with a full time job required discipline and strong time management, but also gave me a unique opportunity to apply what I was learning in the classroom to real work taking place in my community every day.

​

Working in public works has given me a firsthand understanding of how local government operates and how essential these service are to the quality of life in a community. From infrastructure maintenance and operational planning to supporting the day to day functions that keep a township running, the experience has shown me the value of teamwork, reliability, and practical problem solving. Being part of a department that directly impacts residents has strengthened my appreciation for public service and the responsibility that comes with it. 

​

My academic experience helped reinforce many of the lessons I encountered int the field. Studying business administration exposed me to concepts in leadership, operations, finance, and strategic thinking. These areas have helped shape the way I approach challenges and evaluate opportunities for improvement within organizations. I enjoy looking at systems, processes, and projects and thinking about how they can be organized more effectively to support both employees and the community they serve.

​

Throughout my time working and studying, I have developed a strong interest in leadership, organizational improvement, and community development. I believe that effective leadership is not only about making decisions, but also about understanding the people, systems, and goals that drive an organization forward. I am particularly motivated by opportunities where thoughtful planning and collaboration can create lasting benefits for a community.

As I move forward in my career, I hope to continue building on these experiences and finding ways to contribute to organizations and communities in meaningful ways.
