I was born and raised in Kingston,NY.
I attended elementary, middle and high school in Kingston . I am one of 5 children of a single working mother. I have 2 sons who were born and still reside Kingston. My family is now in its fifth generation in Ulster County.
I’m employed at the City of Kingston Water Department where I have been for 29 years.
I served as union shop steward for 20 years for local 750 AFSCME.
I served for 9 years on the Ulster County Human Rights Commission.
I currently live in Port Ewen with my partner Maureen and 2 cats.
I hope to address the present issues that are pressing in Ulster County such as housing, job opportunities, mental health services, infrastructure to name a few.
I am a member of the Public Works, Capital Projects and Transportation  committee and the Energy, Environment, and Sustainability committee.
It’s an honor to serve the people of Ulster County and look forward to working together.
