I am a California native who now calls Maryland “home.” I am always asked, “Why would you leave the California sunshine?” I like having seasons, it gives me the opportunity to refresh and renew every four months. M-NCPPC has been a big part of my life here in Maryland. I am “that person” who gets the Your Guide publication and plans my families’ quarterly activities. My children were raised in the Upper Marlboro and Largo/Kettering/Perrywood Community Centers, literally. The padded infant playroom in Upper Marlboro with the rollercoaster and indoor ball pit…saved my sanity as a new Mom!

It is with great excitement to be joining the M-NCPPC family as the Grant’s and Partnership Manager. Having worked in almost every area of fundraising and development I can honestly say, I absolutely love assisting individuals, corporations and government entities. I fulfill their civic responsibilities by supporting organizations who better the community and the lives of its residents.
