I previously served the State of NY as an environmental attorney and administrative law judge.  I have a passion for conservation of open space and have served on two land trust boards – the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy and the E.N. Huyck Preserve.  I have also been a volunteer mediator with the court-affiliated mediation program – Common Ground (Catskill NY) since 1995.  I grew up in NYC and began my professional career there but have lived in the Helderbergs southwest of the City of Albany for over 30 years.  In addition to serving as of counsel to the Albany office of RP, I am a professional dog trainer with two certifications and an avid equestrian.  I reside with my husband and two dogs in the small town of Berne, NY.
