She was brought on as staff within months of starting and has worked with all the departments within CCE. She has helped to write programing and grants for CCE in all departments and has taken in the knowledge from all that work there. She has proudly been working on the GusNIP Produce Prescription Program, Fruit, and Veggie Rx, which she helped to design and implement.

Although she does not speak Spanish, she ensures bilingual education in all programming and works to provide all participants with respect and accessibility. In addition to working with CCE, she also does billing for a dental office and volunteers her time for the USO and for dental presentations in high needs communities. She is an avid rower and takes pride in her accomplishments, mostly off the water.
