“I have been a lifelong resident of Lawrenceville NJ. I attended Mercer County Community College and earned an Associate degree in Medical Technology. I continued my education at Trenton State College, where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. I have been employed at Penn Medicine Princeton Health for the past 35 years, working in the chemistry laboratory as the lead technologist for the past 15 years.
“In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the shore, playing pickle ball and snow skiing. For 29 years, I been a member of the Trenton Ski Club, where I have held officer and board member positions.
“I met Trica when I looked into training my dog Harley, who I thought would make a good candidate to be a therapy dog. After we got certified in 2017, we started volunteering with AIR. My involvement with AIR is so important to me that four 4 years ago, I got another dog Murphy, who became certified in 2023.
“I love being a part of such an amazing organization that removes stigma and educates students that it is ok to ask for help. To add to my therapy dog volunteer work, two years ago, I assumed the role of Volunteer Coordinator for AIR.”
