I have been fortunate to work in the office of the Register of Wills since 2007, which led to my appointment as Register in January, 2013. Prior thereto, I worked 25 years in a local law firm which prepared me for the complex issues involved in the administration of estates and managing a public office.
I am dedicated to providing competent and accessible service to Talbot County citizens, which continues to be my main priority.
In our ever-changing society, I am committed to search for ways to improve service through technology while maintaining the old-fashioned and time honored ideals of respectful and qualified hands-on personal service. Thank you very much for your vote of confidence.
