Prior to entering politics, Dr. Bourdeaux was a noted state and local public finance expert and held an appointment as an Associate Professor of Public Management and Policy at Georgia State University. Among her many accomplishments, she served as Director of Georgia’s Senate Budget and Evaluation Office during the Great Recession, where she received recognition by the Senate for significant service to the State of Georgia (S.Res. 1598).
