This career chose me. I was on a pre-med track in college when I got married and had children. Taking care of my family of course became my main focus, but after being home for a while I went back to work in the pharmaceutical industry in healthcare compliance. I held different roles in the industry, enjoyed working with the products and focusing on product safety to help patients. I have spent my entire career, since 1987, in compliance.

I received my degree from Princeton University.

My biggest challenge while working in the medical device division, was being hired into a role by a director who retired, going through an audit where there were some many areas not compliant, struggling and having that responsibility. I had a great team, enlisted contractors and within 6 months did have the certification that was needed.

My greatest strengths include my abilities to be understanding, work with others, and my interpersonal skills.

Above all my greatest accomplishment has been my family and raising 3 well accomplished sons. Second to that, I am proud that I successfully completed my formal education while working and raising a family.

My professional goal is to cultivate and create positive change in the world. I am passionate about helping and advocating for people.

I am inspired by empowerment and challenging myself to be a better person. I live my life to serve as the best example possible for my children, my grandchildren, and young women everywhere.

I want to be remembered for changing someone's life; for being that "spark" that allowed them to recapture their strength and realize their greatest potential. 

I am a member of CASA, Mercer County.

I support the Junior League and Project Freedom.

I enjoy travelling, reading and film festivals.
