I have been a resident of Port Chester for 19 years along with my husband and have two children attending district schools + a graduating senior at the high school and a seventh grader at middle school.

I am a communications consultant with a small firm in Manhattan that works on a variety of social issues for nonprofit organizations. I was PTA president at Thomas Edison Community School for several years. I worked with the Port Chester Council for the Arts and was a board member with Open Door Family Health Center. I participate in a burgeoning civic group in the village called Building Community Bridges and I am a facilitator with the Anti-Defamation League in their "A World of Difference" program that brings anti-bias trainings to middle to high school teachers and students.
