A graduate of Bradford Business School’s secretarial co-op program, I worked for 17 years in the financial industry before taking a few years off to raise my children. Soon after moving to Centerville Borough, the position of Secretary/Treasurer was advertised for the fifth time in about four years. I was selected and must be doing something right since that was 23 years ago and Council recently named me Borough Manager.
Along with my current position as a PAMA Board Member, I am also a member of the PSAB Board of Directors and several of its committees, the Borough Planning Commission Secretary, a member of the Centerville Parks Committee, and a certified Notary. I take all these positions seriously and actively participate.
I enjoy continuing to learn and participate in as many webinars as I can. I feel I benefit a lot by attending PAMA and PSAB conferences to network and learn. I was honored to become a Certified Borough Official through PSAB and a Certified Government Administrator at the 2023 PAMA conference.
Personally, my husband of 40 years and I live on 43 acres, most of which are fruit orchards. We have two adult sons, a lovely daughter-in-law, one adorable granddaughter, one farm cat, a flock of chickens, a gaggle of geese, and an energetic rescue lab. In my free time, we enjoy traveling to and hiking in National Parks all over the country. I am also a long-time season ticket holder at the Washington Wild Things and look forward to baseball season each year.
