President
I am so grateful for the time I spent at University of Maryland, so it's an honor to give back to the university as a decades-long member of our local Alumni Association network board and now as a member of the National Alumni Association Board. At Maryland, I had access to a world-class education and unparalleled internship opportunities for my major in government and politics, which provided an excellent foundation for my future career as an equity partner in a major Philadelphia law firm. However, the most important gift that University of Maryland gave me was my husband and my family. My husband and I met at R.J. Bentley's, and we are just celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. Our first dog was named Bentley, and we live in the New Jersey suburbs of Philadelphia with our two young Terps fans. I know that some of my kids' best childhood memories will be cheering with us at football and basketball games and waiting for player autographs after the game.
