I joined ECCT staff after a career of distinguished service with the West Hartford Fire Department. As the first Black woman to graduate from the CT Fire Academy, I climbed the ranks and recently retired as Deputy Fire Marshal.
I have extensive background as a facilitator and consultant specializing in building strong teams and delivering effective anti-bias training.
Prior to joining ECCT staff, I held key leadership positions within the Episcopal Church in Connecticut, including serving as a member of the Commission on Ministry, Co-Chair of the ECCT Bishop Transition Committee, and Deputy to The 81st General Convention. I have served the wider Church as an Election Consultant and am a parishioner at Trinity Episcopal Church in Hartford. I have a master’s degree in Public Administration from Purdue University and am a Berkeley Divinity School at Yale Leadership Fellow.
Even though I have many distinctions in my professional and community life, my proudest honor is being a mom of twins.
