She has a background in law, program management and advocacy, but at the heart of all she does is her Ignatian-inspired belief that God is in all things. She has been involved in environmental issues since the first Earth Day when she organized a chalk mural event with the other kids in her neighborhood, and in 2015 she became a certified Master Naturalist. She is also an Ignatian prayer guide, a graduate of the Haden Institute spiritual director program and holds a Juris Doctorate from SUNY Buffalo School of Law. Locally grown in the Rochester area, she is married, and the mother of three grown children.
