I’ve been a resident of Columbia County for nearly 30 years after growing up in the New York’s Capital District. I earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Siena College and have worked in the healthcare and nonprofit sectors for over 35 years. I have been an active community volunteer serving on the Board of the YWCA Ulster County for over 15 years serving as president for three years and treasurer for five years. In 2008 I was honored as the YWCA Woman of the Year.
