My personal life: 

My family at home discovered if they wanted to be part of my world, then the SkillsUSA family would become part of their lives. My husband, Paul, served as a SkillsUSA Advisor for many years. Truth be told, he has more student National medals under his tutelage than I do. Our daughter, Devyn, earned a National Gold Medal, served as a two-time State Officer, and worked with Skills JAM. She is now a Producer and Co-Host on Studio 814. They discovered their own path in this incredible organization. It’s been a family affair. Our son Brandon never wore the red jacket, but he and his wife Molly both embrace the devotion of serving our community in their careers as advocates for youth and family growth and healing. We are a family of servant leaders. 

​

My priorities in this role: 

My number one priority will always be the student members. I believe that if the advisors are informed and happy, the students will be too. Together we will build on the existing legacy of SkillsUSA Pennsylvania. Loyalty, integrity, transparency, and respect for one another - even when we disagree - are very important to me. I hope you all feel the same. I look forward to this opportunity to serve you. All I ask is for patience and a desire to work towards a common goal ~ the success of our members.

This year’s theme is “Level Up” and it encompasses what we've been striving for with Team PA! Together as one, we celebrate our rich and productive history and continue marching towards success one level at a time.
