Program Specialist – Mothers Against Drunk Driving

My job responsibilities: Community outreach and education for the prevention of impaired driving, underage drinking and drug use.

Why I joined the Coalition: I joined the FTSDC as a statewide representative of MADD to contribute and help spread the important work of the Coalition.

Professional Accomplishments: I’ve been working in the nonprofit field for over 14 years and with MADD for 6 of them. I am proud to create and work on multiple unique Statewide and National education campaigns and for being selected by MADD’s National office to mentor advise my company peers. I have also been selected to deliver our education programming to our National Executive Staff and Board.

Hobbies or areas of interest outside of work: My interests include yoga (I’m a yoga teacher), outdoor activities like walking, biking, hiking, and snow skiing. I love healthy cooking and listening to music and audio books!

What has changed most about driving from the time you were a teenager to now? Technology has changed for the good and the bad. The good – safety the bad – distractions!
