I began working at UK in 1999 at the Dept. of Physics & Astronomy as a STEPS employee.  While there I advanced to the position of assistant to the Chair and the DGS.  In 2004, and for almost 10 years, I was the Administrative Staff Officer for the Center for Research on Violence Against Women.  I am now very pleased to be a part of the A & S team working with the Office for Policy Studies on Violence Against Women.
