I began my journey with G.A.R.F. by taking victim advocate classes, which led to the honor of being invited to serve as a board member. I’m a retired Detention Sergeant, having served 24 years with the Campbell County Sheriff’s Department, where I worked closely with both domestic violence victims and offenders. Throughout my career, I often turned to G.A.R.F. for support in work-related situations, and I’m proud to now give back to an organization that was there when I needed it most.

I’ve lived in Gillette for 47 years, and have been married to my husband, Bob, for 45 years. We have a son, Travis, a daughter-in-law, Christine, and a wonderful granddaughter, Lucy.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and remain passionate about continuing my volunteer work with G.A.R.F., helping to make a difference in the lives of others.
