I grew up in Cuyahoga Falls, located in Northeast Ohio with four brothers. I started my career in HR shortly after graduating from the University of Akron. I worked for a Personnel Employment Service for five years in the Mansfield and Wooster areas, focusing on employment services, recruitment, and business development.

My family and I relocated to the Toledo area in 1999. In 2001, I began working in Human Resources for a non-profit organization and realized the impact I could make in people’s lives. I was part of an organization whose main focus was saving lives and that was an extremely rewarding experience.

In 2007, I started at the Ability Center. This was my first experience working with people with disabilities. I learned to appreciate the importance of Independent Living very quickly. My experience here has been very rewarding because it has enabled me to hire qualified people to represent a top-notch organization and to be part of a team working toward a common goal of building and supporting inclusive communities.
