I received my MSW from Syracuse University and I have been a social worker for over 25 years. I am currently a behavior specialist/Licensed Clinical Social Worker working for individuals with intellectual and developmental delays (IDD) primarily diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have worked with individuals diagnosed with IDD and their families for over 15 years. Within NASW-NYS I have held many positions including Hudson Valley Division Director, Board Member At Large, and was most recently appointed Region Representative for the 2019-2020 Program Year.
