My husband Mike and I moved to Treyburn in August 2020. We have been very happy here, and encouraged our daughter and her family to join us. They moved to Treyburn in July 2023. Both our families are active members of the Treyburn Country Club. I am co-facilitator of the Treyburn book club, and an avid participant in the fitness program. My husband and I support the Forum and various other social activities at the club.

My professional background is in education and psychology. I worked in both private and public schools over 40 years as a French and Spanish teacher, School Psychologist and Behavior Analyst, most recently in the Westfield School District in New Jersey. In these roles I conducted meetings, attended conferences, and participated in mediation sessions and court proceedings on behalf of the students I served. I have a patent on a product designed to assist children on the autism spectrum with self-regulation. I am trained in Suicide Prevention and volunteered on a suicide hotline for many years.

In 2015 I helped found a successful non-profit organization called RAP of NJ. It is an interfaith group that supports families in need in Union County, NJ. I served on the executive board for seven years, and as vice-president four years. I served on the governing body of my church, the Vestry, for six years, and was Clerk of the Vestry for two years. During my tenure, this Board called a new priest to our church, renovated the Rectory, and made major repairs and modifications to the church property. I served on the Buildings and Grounds committee for all six years.

I am a team player with experience in working collaboratively and constructively to reach solutions, and know the value of open communication. I have the time and incentive to serve on the Board and am ready to work toward the continuing betterment of our community.
