In 2000, I joined SPCC as an intern while completing my undergraduate studies at Roberts Wesleyan University. What started as an internship grew into a career spanning decades and a range of roles including Teen Parent Counselor, Family Visitation Specialist, Program Supervisor, Evaluation Director, and Vice President. As COO, I oversee quality assurance, compliance, development efforts, and support operations across the organization.

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Roberts Wesleyan University and am licensed (LMSW) by the New York State Education Department. A blend of providing and overseeing services to families along with administrative experience allows me to lead from a unique perspective.

I love what I do! At the heart is my belief that children thrive when the people around them are supported well. As COO, I have the privilege of building systems that support staff and help keep SPCC focused on what matters most — the children we serve. I view leadership as both a privilege and an honor, and approach it with the conviction that leaders and those they lead grow best together.

Outside of work, I recharge by spending time with my husband, my sons, and my dog Daisy. I enjoy cooking, crafting, gardening, tackling house projects, and traveling — and also find genuine joy in simply being home.
