How long have you worked at the Connection?
I was hired at The Connection, Inc in 1991. I oversee programs for women and children, seven programs in all.

What do you do at the Connection?
I supervise the Program Directors of all the programs I oversee. I do a lot of constituency building statewide, and spend lots of time lobbying at the legislative office building. It has been exciting being involved in the development, licensing, hiring, and construction stages of all the programs I supervise.

What do you like about your job?
Prior to working at our agency, I worked for several years in the substance abuse treatment field. I always found myself wanting to start separate groups for the women clients in the facilities I worked at. Coming to The Connection, and being able to take part in developing gender specific programming has been extremely rewarding.

What is your educational background?
I hold a BA degree in Child and Community Psychology from Albertus Magnus College. My plans are to further my education by beginning a Masters Program in January 0f 2008 at Albertus Magnus.
