I was born and raised in West Seneca, NY. I am a graduate from West Seneca West Senior High School. I then went on to Daemen College to earn my bachelor’s and master’s degree in their Social Work Program. I have extensive experience working with children and families in a mental health and substance use setting. Growing up I’ve always had an interest in giving special attention to vulnerable and oppressed communities. My goal in social work is to empower people and assist them with the obstacles that are identified. In my free time, I like to golf, spend time with my family & friends and my dog, Bowie.
