Other information I would like to share:

I have served on the Warren County Board of Developmental Disabilities since 2020 and am honored to contribute to the organization's mission and vision.


During my 27 years in education, I have witnessed firsthand what becomes possible when individuals are given the right supports and connections. I have seen students consistently 

exceed the expectations that others placed on them, and that experience has shaped a core belief that drives everything I do: when people have access to the right opportunity, anything is possible.


I am passionate about ensuring that all individuals, regardless of ability, have access to meaningful career pathways and the chance to excel in whatever they choose. Too many times, we underestimate what people are capable of achieving. Serving on this board is one of the most important ways I can act on that belief in our community.


My professional work at Warren County Career Center sits at the intersection of education and workforce development. We build connections between students and employers, 

expand access for those who face barriers, and partner with businesses to develop the skills our community needs. I see a natural and powerful alignment between that work and 

the WCBDD's mission, particularly in supported employment, career exploration, and employer engagement for individuals with developmental disabilities.
