The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

Since graduating, life has been a wonderful and rewarding journey. After moving on from the field of broadcasting, I had the distinct privilege of working in public service for a number of incredible visionaries who provided solid leadership to the Commonwealth of PA. They included former Governor and Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge, former Gov. Mark Schweiker, House Speaker Matt Ryan, and former First Lady Michele Ridge, to name a few. The many opportunities provided during those years to truly make a difference in communities large and small and in the lives of Pennsylvanians throughout our great state will always be cherished. Years ago, I found myself "Penn State proud" as we showcased PSU for the nation's governors when hosting an NGA meeting in "Happy Valley". That was such a great time for all! Today, in addition to being a wife and mother, I enjoy managing my business that focuses on marketing, event planning and promotional products. Often, I speak about the tremendous experiences I gained from my education at Penn State which as proven invaluable over the years. And to this day, I always reflect on the great friends and fun times I had when I visit campus or town. It's still such a thrill to enjoy a football or basketball game, homecoming or visit the area... So many special memories for years to come that are fun to now share with my children.
