Some of my most unforgettable memories are connected to Hilton High School both as a student and social studies teacher. It was here that I forged lifelong friendships, shared my desire for learning, challenged students to view the world from different perspectives through respectful dialogue grounded in evidence. And, ultimately, to serve among the many dedicated colleagues and outstanding students was truly a privilege.

I moved to Hilton from Niagara County in 1983 and graduated from Hilton High School in 1988. From there, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from SUNY Brockport in 1992. Since then, my career has centered around sales and marketing.

I am the proud mom of two Hilton graduates: Jordan 2010 and Jess 2011 and am married to Kevin a 1977 graduate.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, gardening, golfing, and spending time with my kids and grandkids.

"I like making sure all our ducks are in a row — that's how I ran my kindergarten class. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

Hilton High School ‘92,

As a proud 1992 graduate of the Hilton Central School District, I have always carried with me a deep appreciation for the education, values, and sense of community that Hilton instilled in me. My career in education began in the very halls where my own journey started—Village Elementary School—where I served first as a teaching assistant, then as a special education teacher and elementary educator. Driven by a passion for instructional leadership, I pursued certifications as both a School Building Leader and School District Leader.

Over the years, I’ve held various leadership positions across Monroe County, including Assistant Principal and Principal at Monroe One BOCES, Principal in the East Irondequoit Central School District, and currently, Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Programs at Monroe One BOCES. These roles have allowed me to develop deep experience in organizational leadership, community engagement, program development, and strategic planning.

Hilton is more than just my hometown—it is the foundation of my family and career. My husband and I are both Hilton graduates, and all four of our daughters have proudly graduated from Hilton as well. My mother, a dedicated Hilton educator for over 32 years, modeled the spirit of service and lifelong learning that continues to guide me today.

As a board member of the Hilton Alumni Association, I would bring a collaborative leadership style, strong communication skills, and a strategic mindset shaped by years of educational and administrative experience. I am highly organized, mission-driven, and committed to inclusivity—skills essential for engaging alumni, building meaningful connections, and supporting outreach initiatives that reflect the values of Hilton. I understand the importance of honoring the district’s legacy while also fostering a vision that supports future alumni.

“I would be honored to serve and give back to the district and community that shaped who I am, and to help strengthen connections between past, present, and future Cadets.”

Class of 1991

Iam a lifelong resident of Hilton and a proud 1991 graduate of the Hilton Central School District. My connection to the community runs deep; my wife and I raised four daughters, all of whom graduated from Hilton, making this district an important part of our family’s story.

My career path was influenced by my experience in Ron Hidmarch’s visual communication class while at Hilton High School, which sparked my interest in graphic arts & printing.  I went on to earn a degree in Graphic Arts /Visual Communication and Printing from Monroe Community College and currently work in the printing industry with Flower City Group, where I've been employed for the last 30 years.

Over the years, I have stayed closely connected to the Hilton community through my daughters’ involvement in athletics. I have been an active member in the past with the Hilton Heat Soccer Club and the Hilton Girls Soccer Boosters. As a sports dad, I regularly volunteered where needed; on the sidelines, in concessions, and supporting the programs in any way I could.

“Hilton has played such an important role in shaping who I am and in providing opportunities for my family. I am committed to giving back to the community that has given so much to me, and I would be honored to serve on the Hilton Alumni Association to help continue that tradition of pride, connection, and support for future generations.”

Empire State College 2018 & 2019

Senior Supply Chain specialist, volunteer and world traveler

After graduating from Hilton High School in 2002, I attended SUNY Geneseo for two years before deciding to enter the workforce and begin building my professional career.

Over the past 20 years, I have gained experience across a diverse range of industries, including label printing, food manufacturing, battery recycling and processing, and pharmaceuticals. These opportunities have allowed me to develop a broad skill set and strong operational expertise.

Today, I serve as a Senior Demand Planner for a pharmaceutical company, where I focus on forecasting, supply planning, and supporting business operations.

I have also been actively involved in community service, serving on the board of a Rochester-area nonprofit organization for the past seven years. During that time, I have contributed to several committees, including Accessibility and Public Information/Cooperation with the Professional Community. In addition, I have participated in multiple ad hoc initiatives involving bylaw revisions, policy development, and budget planning.

Outside of work and volunteer service, I enjoy traveling and have had the opportunity to visit destinations around the world. Yosemite National Park is my favorite place in the United States, while Finland and Antarctica share the distinction of being my favorite international destinations.

“The Hilton community has always held a special place in my life. I come from a large family, many of whom were born, raised, and continue to reside in Hilton. I am also fortunate to maintain close friendships that began during my school years—some spanning more than 35 years—which has strengthened my connection to the community and its residents.”

“My time in the Hilton Central School District truly shaped me into the person I am today, and I would not have had the opportunity, or ability, to serve my community if it weren't for the education I received at Hilton.
