I believe deeply in the mission of New York State Women, Inc. and the power it holds to transform lives—just as it transformed mine. Through my membership, I found my voice, unlocked my leadership potential, and began to genuinely believe that I am a strong, enthusiastic woman capable of leading others. Now, it is my time to pay it forward and help women across New York State reach their own personal and professional apex.
A lifelong New Yorker, I grew up in New Hartford, spent 18 years in Sullivan County, and now call Sherburne home. Education has been a cornerstone of my journey. I earned my associate’s degree in accounting from Sullivan County Community College with honors, my bachelor’s degree in accounting from SUNY Empire State College, and my MBA from Walden University with a 4.0 GPA.
Professionally, I have over 30 years of experience in finance and currently serve as the Pharmacy Manager at Bartle’s Pharmacy, where I have led efforts to streamline billing procedures and identify new revenue opportunities. My dedication to advocacy also extends beyond the workplace. I proudly serve on the board of Amelia’s Voice, a nonprofit focused on raising awareness about domestic violence and supporting women in breaking free from abuse and control. In addition, I serve on the Aunt Mary’s House Board. The leadership roles that I undertake are all focused around helping people to thrive in their environment whether it be in my role as a mom, grandma, manager, president, or board member.
I have always taken immense pride in being a mother, but nothing compares to the joy of being a grandmother. My granddaughters are my world, and they inspire me daily to live with intention, strength, and purpose.
In recent years, I have also prioritized my health and wellness, finding joy in walking and embracing a lifestyle of movement and mindfulness.
My journey with NYS Women, Inc. resumed in June 2017, and since then, I have been fully engaged in its mission: 2018: PPD Career Recognition Award winner and Finance Vice Chair 2019–2023: State Treasurer and Registration Chair 2024–2025: State Vice President 2018 - Current: Tri-County Chapter Vice President Current: State President Elect
