I am a recent Florida transplant, having moved here in December of 2007 to be close to my family. This was the first big move for me, having only ever lived in central New Jersey, and it's been an adventure! While I still love the Garden State (and dearly miss the wide variety of people, amusements and cuisine), I'm happy to now call New Smyrna Beach home.

My position with NCPRS has been one of the biggest boons of the move. I had all but given up hope in finding a job I'd really want, when I took a position here and found a new home. What could be better than spending each day in the company of wonderful people, each of whom shares a passion for impacting the lives of our nations' youth? I am so thankful to be a part of such an exciting, fulfilling endeavor.

Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Trenton State College; certificate in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Member of honor societies Psi Chi, Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Mu Gamma.

My life outside work revolves around family, whether we're hanging by the pool, lounging on the beach, or playing at the park. Favorite diversions include pen and paper puzzles (especially logic), suspense novels, Paste magazine and my daily dose of Jon Stewart.
