I am originally from Coatesville, Pennsylvania where I graduated from Coatesville Area High School. I attended Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pennsylvania my freshman year and played softball. I made the decision after my first year of being away from family that I wanted to be closer to home. I transferred and ultimately earned my degree from West Chester University.

In 2004, I was given the opportunity to fulfill my dream of being a police officer with the New Castle County Police Department here in Delaware. I am currently in my seventeenth year of service with the Agency. I spent approximately six years in the Crime Analysis Unit within the Criminal Investigations Division. I was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in 2013 and was transferred to the Patrol Division where I served as a patrol supervisor. In 2018, I was transferred from the Patrol Division to the Professional Development Unit where I served as the Commander of the Lieutenant Joseph L. Szczerba Police Academy. In November 2019, I was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. I am currently the Commander of one of four, rotating patrol squads. During my career I have received several accommodations to include The Chief of Police Award, The Performance of Excellence Award from the Delaware State Police, two Accommodations of Merit and was chosen as the Kiwanis Officer of the Quarter on two separate occasions. I truly love interacting with the public and take great pride in my profession.

I currently reside in Middletown with my husband, Jaime, our son, Patrick, and our dog, Otis. I enjoy woodworking, interior and landscape design, and enjoy making farmhouse style decor. I recently started my own small business, Dogwood Lane Designs, LLC and look forward to further developing as an Entrepreneur. I am very thankful for the opportunity to be a part of Leadership Delaware’s Class of 2021!
