Her responsible financial management, along with her ability to adapt to evolving software, sets her apart.
She was instrumental in founding the Delaware County Tax Collector’s Association, where she served as president. She has been an active member of the Delaware County Town Clerk’s Association, also holding the presidency.
Her leadership skills extend to 12 years on the Walton Central School Board, including five years as president, where she effectively managed public funds while serving on the finance and facilities committees and advocating for students’ education.
She is committed to ensuring financial accuracy, responsibility, and efficiency in all areas, she said, and is ready to leverage her experience and leadership to make a significant impact as Delaware County treasurer. She looks forward to voter support on June 24.
