I started my RIT career in the Student Records Office at the Center for Imaging Science back in 1991. After a move to a different building and working in that capacity for nine years, I decided it might be time for a change. I happened to run into my friend Colleen in front of the Photo building one fall afternoon and she told me about her job opening up. I was thrilled! I applied, interviewed and got the job in November 2000. Colleen was promoted to the MCSL Outreach Coordinator and moved to the office next door to mine. It was so nice to start a job where I had the “expert” so close by! Four years have passed and I am now settled into my job. I love it!
Personal Highlights
Len and I moved to Rochester in 1988. Although we don't have family here, we have made Rochester our home. We can’t imagine living anywhere else! We have been married for 19 years. (I was a young bride ;-) We have three great kids. Doug is 15, Jon is 12 and Elise is 9. The boys play football and lacrosse. Elise plays soccer and is involved in Girl Scouts. We are extremely involved parents (is there any other way?). I am the Team Mom for Jon’s football team he plays for the Chili Lions Pop Warner Football league. I am the Yearbook Coordinator at Fairbanks Road Elementary School in Churchville-Chili. I served as the Co-President of our PTO for three years. Len is in his 5th year as a football coach for the Chili Lions. Life is busy…
