I was born and raised in Beacon, New York, and spent most of my life in Dutchess County. I hold an Associate Degree in Business Administration and currently serve as the Director of Revenue Cycle Management at a non-profit organization dedicated to Behavioral Health and Human Services. Over the past 26 years, I’ve had the privilege of working in various roles within the Behavioral Health and Human Services field, and I’ve always been passionate about assisting individuals and combating the stigma associated with Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder. Recently, I’ve felt a strong desire to actively engage with the LGBTQ community and advocate for our equality, rights, and freedoms.

As an Aquarian, Reiki Master, and an avid collector of crystals, stones, and minerals, I find joy in my daily life. I reside with my husband of 18 years and our two cats, Liza (Minnelli) and Lucy (Ball). I cherish spending quality time with friends, dancing, or simply relaxing at home.
