I am responsible for providing research for Government Relations and other departments on salary history, benefits, OSHR policies, etc. I’m the person that members call when they have questions about workplace issues, retirement, or the State Health Plan.

Helping people, whether it’s working to get legislation passed that benefits our members, helping state employee-friendly candidates get elected, or finding solutions for members who are having difficulties at the workplace.

Tell us about your family:
I have a five-year-old Chihuahua named Sophie.

What are your hobbies?
I’m a nerd who loves to learn, so I read and watch television as much as possible - politics and all things Star Trek.
