Affiliations

I am a creative person. I enjoy exploring a variety of arts and craft mediums.

I sculpt with wire, I make mosaics, I enjoy the use of paper, yarn and fabric in collage.

My favorite pallet however, is the garden. There I paint and craft with plants. I say it is the place where I let out my whimsy!

I have a deep love for the outdoors and the natural world. I have an interest in conservation, preservation and sustainable living.

Accomplishments

I am very proud to have been appointed to my township's environmental commission.

This appointment came after myself and a friend successfully worked with the National Wildlife Federation to earn the title "Certified Wildlife Habitat Community" for our neighborhood.

This title is only held by severn other communities in the state of New Jersey. I am very proud of this accomplishment and have my eyes set on rallying other communities and commissions to do the same throughout the Pine Barrens territories specifically.
