Dr. Arndt also earned an M.A. in Education (St. Mary's, San Antonio) and has served for nearly two decades as an administrator, teacher, and guidance counselor in primary and secondary schools in Milwaukee, Chicago, and San Antonio, one of which was awarded the National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence for both reading and math.
