She began at Hill College as administrative assistant to the dean of instruction. Since then, she has served as director of counseling and support services, dean of students, vice president of student services, adjunct faculty, crisis counselor and psychology instructor.
Her own college education started at Hill College, and she also studied at McLennan Community College, Sam Houston State University and University of Mary Hardin-Baylor prior to receiving her Bachelor of Arts in Applied Sciences and then a Master’s degree in Education from Tarleton State University. Her doctoral degree in education is from Texas A&M University-Commerce.
As president of the college, Dr. Boehm has secured grant funds to increase services to students, developed a testing center, created a tutorial program for students and partnered with Hillsboro Independent School District to develop a Teen Forum.
