Education Background: Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Specialized education in Child and Adult Advocacy Studies.
Career: Experience as a Crisis/ Sexual Assault Advocate at AVANZAR in Atlantic City, New Jersey for 1 year prior to coming to Beginnings, Inc. as a CASA Supervisor. A major professional goal of mine is to be involved in the investigations of internet crimes against abused and trafficked children. I have a strong interest in childhood violence & trauma-related work, and I appreciate the opportunity to work for Beginnings-CASA.
About Me: I grew up both in the Pocono Mountains and Northern New Jersey. My favorite TV show is Law and Order: Special Victims Unit that I watch daily. Autumn is my favorite season because of all the different colors and fall activities. I have a 3-year-old Russian Blue cat named Beautiful Girl who is so sweet and loves to “talk.” Some of my favorite things are pine tree candles, swimming, iced tea, and traveling/ experiencing nature with friends and family.
