I have had the privilege and honor of leading the Adelphi Breast Cancer Program since 1996. With an M.S. in Social Work from Columbia University and almost 35 years of clinical and executive management in the health care field, my passion and commitment is to women’s health issues and women’s empowerment.

I am responsible for the overall operations of the program, including a statewide hotline, support groups, individual and family counseling, outreach, education and advocacy on the local, state and national level. With a small but outstanding staff and 100 incredible volunteers, most of whom are breast cancer survivors, we are able to help thousands of women and men each year.
