Bio

After being in the helping profession in local government and as local public health mergers were beginning to happen, I decided to change directions in my career.  I had work with the Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association a conference worker and when a full-time position came available I threw my hat in the ring and have not looked back. 

It has been interesting to be see how government work and association work are closely related in some areas but, in others the are vastly different. I feel I bring a different thought process to the association world.  I am a very black and white thinker and association thinking is grey, very had to change a thought process to get things to work.  The black and white thought process has helped bridge the gap with some of our members and helped with analytics.

I am a wife, mother, and grammy.  I enjoy spending time with my family.  My hobbies are scrapbooking and horse racing.
