In my last position, I served as the Administrator of a county children and youth agency. At the time I began working at the Agency, the staff complement had significantly decreased and the agency was on a provisional license. Through cooperation and collaboration with the staff, I was able to improve staffing levels and restore the agency to full licensure status.
My prior experience includes serving as a Commissioner on the PA Gaming Control Board; as a Legislative Affairs Director for the PA Attorney General's office and as Legislative Secretary for the PA Governor's office. Through these positions I have established and maintained professional relationships with members of the PA General Assembly, the PA Gaming Control Board staff and legislative professionals in a number of state agencies.
