Sandi Cragg

Administrative Associate III

Sandi is an administrative assistant in the Office of Student Engagement, where she incorporates her experience as a career technology educator into her daily work to help others. When not working, Sandi loves spending time with my daughter and playing with her three Aussiedoodles and a cockapoo. Otherwise, you might find her reading mysteries, repurposing furniture or putting a new spin on treasured recipes.
Sandi has two role models who are strong women—her mother and her daughter. Her mother taught Sandi to cope with all life’s curveballs and to follow through with each endeavor, such as getting an education. Her daughter, like her mother, has shown resilience through a positive work ethic. When Sandi’s son passed away unexpectedly, her daughter was a comfort and support. Sandi loves life and being an A&M-Commerce employee.
