Wende Pettit has always been the person others can depend on when precision and organization are most important. With over 15 years of experience spanning education, healthcare, and small business, she has earned a reputation for her ability to remain steady, manage complex responsibilities, and keep everything running efficiently. Her career reflects a consistent focus on helping others succeed by bringing structure and clarity to demanding environments. Much of her professional path has been centered on public school districts in Northern Bergen County, New Jersey. For nearly ten years, Pettit worked as an Executive Assistant to the Superintendents of Schools at the River Edge and Fair Lawn Boards of Education. In these positions, she managed board agendas, organized district-wide programs and events, and handled sensitive human resource matters. She became a central point of communication for teachers, principals, board members, and the community, ensuring information flowed smoothly across all levels. Her ability to manage calendars, budgets, and reports made her a trusted resource for district leadership. She viewed this role as a form of stewardship, allowing educators and administrators to remain focused on students while she maintained order in the background. Before entering the education field, Wende developed valuable skills in healthcare through her work at Christian Health in Wyckoff, specifically in the Organizational Development and Service Excellence Department. She was involved in initiatives aimed at enhancing workplace culture and fostering employee engagement. In 2015, she received the Bright Idea of the Year Award for a project that repurposed gently used handbags to bring dignity and comfort to nursing home residents, an idea that reflected her belief in the power of simple gestures to make a meaningful difference. Earlier in her career, she spent over a decade as the Office Manager of a landscaping company, overseeing scheduling, billing, customer service, and vendor relations.
