LAKE MARY, Fla. – In just two short years, this Lake Mary public servant demonstrated the "can do" attitude in delivering on her campaign promises midway through her 4-year seat on the Seminole County School Board in addition to myriad duties in several civic posts and balancing it all out with her most treasured responsibilities: family and faith.

So it's easy to understand why Gov. Rick Scott didn't blink an eye Friday in piling on even more responsibilities on Amy Lockhart, appointing her to an open seat on the Seminole State College of Florida District Board of Trustees.

The 39-year-old Lake Mary wife and mother of two school-age kids previously served as chairwoman of the Idyllwilde Elementary School Advisory Council.
