I was born in Delaware attended St. Mark's High School.  I went on to attend Salisbury State University in Maryland obtaining a Bachelor of Science  in Social Work.  After my undergraduate work, I was accepted Widener University Advanced Standing School of Clinical Social Work Program where I received Master of Social Work (MSW).

For the past seven years I have been dividing my time working for Chrisitana Care/Visiting Nurse Association in school-based wellness center and Delaware Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association.  The counseling program at Delaware Park has evolved over the past few years into an employee assistance program offering counseling, substance-free housing, screening and social services.

I currently serve as Secretary of the Winners Federation.  This organization facilitates communication among caregivers, researchers and industry members.  The Winners Federation serves as a clearinghouse for information on health, safety and human service issues within the racing industry.  It also advocates for drug-free workplaces and for expanded employee assistance programs on all North American tracks and training centers.
