Hello, my name is Shawn Wilkens. I joined CSI as a Grant and Accounting Technician in March 2022. My work consists of reviewing request for funds submissions, providing feedback to schools for Federal and State compliance requirements and processing grant payments to CSI schools and external vendors.

For seventeen years I owned and operated a successful small business in Vail, Colorado and more recently worked in the Business office at Caprock Academy, a CSI Charter School. I am a Native of Colorado and have lived various places throughout this beautiful state, experiencing all the outdoor activities Colorado is famous for.

I enjoy working with CSI and how all the departmental teams come together as advocates for charter schools in the state. I appreciate the creative ways in which charter schools extend the reach of the State’s education systems, expanding knowledge to all students. I look forward to growing with CSI and its mission to foster high quality public school options.
