As someone who enjoys collaboration, I am energized by the partnerships our team has the unique privilege of building with K-12 schools, higher education institutions, community organizations, and businesses. These partnerships are foundational to creating opportunities for STEM career pathway exploration for students of all ages and their families. I am passionate about helping those around me grow. I am also committed to opening doors for members of our community who are underrepresented in manufacturing and technology careers.

I was hired at MACNY in January 2021 as a Workforce Development Specialist. In October of the same year, I was promoted to Associate Director. I also spent time away from the organization as the Assistant Director & Lock 4 Program Manager for ERIE21 at Le Moyne College, where I regularly convened stakeholders responsible for delivering training and provided success coaching to adult learners. I returned to MACNY as the Director of Partners for Education & Business. I also have experience as the Program Manager for Adult & Continuing Education at Cazenovia College.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Inclusive Elementary Education from Cazenovia College and a Master of Science degree in Education (Curriculum & Instruction) from SUNY Potsdam.

Fun fact about me: I love traveling and experiencing new places with my husband and son.
