I have spent more than two decades volunteering, organizing and leading Newarker’s in various schools and community organizations.

Having previously worked in the private sector for over 25 years. Working in the fields of technology, training and corporate security/investigation.  Also having worked for several non-profit's in Newark as a Family and Community Organizer and currently as the Co-Executive Director/Chief External Relations Officer of Parent Impact. An organization whose mission is to offer opportunities where parents are leaders and partners in their children's schools and communities. I have had a direct impact on mobilizing and organizing families to be the change they want to see in their communities

The Mother of three adult children who have attended private, traditional and public charter schools in Newark NJ. As a proud Citizen Advocate I strongly believes that parents active in the school community and neighborhood organizations has a positive effect on student outcomes.
