Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee announced Thursday the appointment of Deborah J. Goddard as the state’s housing secretary.

If confirmed by the state Senate, Goddard will fill a vacancy created in July when former Housing Secretary Stefan Pryor left for an unspecified private sector job in the finance sector. He is now a partner at Palm Venture Studios, according to his LinkedIn page.

According to a statement from McKee, Goddard has more than 40 years of experience in the housing field and currently has her own consulting firm, DJ Goddard Consulting.
