Accomplishments/Education:

I've been at the University for a more than 20 years. I enjoy staying busy and providing staff support for the direcotr of MRI keeps me moving. I've participated on various university committees and hopefully have made a differencee by providing insight from related work experience. I have always been interested in making a difference, to better the work environment at Penn State for everyone. My experience at Penn State as well as external positions in industry have helped, I believe, to give me a well rounded perspective on various staff issues. My experience at Penn State range from, staff assistant in an undergraduate/graduate student office, and now with the MRI which is an administrative unit that coordinates materials research for over 200 faculty and hundreds of students at Penn State
