I am an experienced public administrator with a background in human resources, policy development, governmental relations, and human services. I am currently the Commissioner of Erie County’s Personnel Department, overseeing civil service administration in the County and the towns, villages, school districts, and special districts therein. As Commissioner, I also ensure the County complies with state and federal regulations while managing payroll and benefits administration. My previous roles include directing senior services for the Town of Amherst, managing special projects in social services, and serving as a legislative liaison. I hold a Doctor of Public Administration from West Cheser University, a Master of Public Administration from Hilbert College, and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Buffalo. I chair the Town of Amherst Zoning Board of Appeals and the Erie County Deferred Compensation Committee, and serve on the Board of Trustees for the Labor Management Health Fund and the Board of Directors of the Buffalo-Niagara Chapter of the American Society for Public Administration. I am passionate about improving outcomes for residents and strive to implement policies and programs that positively impact the community.
