What do you like to do in your free time?
I love spending time outdoors with my family and our dog, Tucker—especially hiking through the woods. I also enjoy playing tennis, gardening, and creating flower arrangements.

How many years have you lived in Middletown?
I have lived in Middletown for 19 years.

What or who is your musical inspiration?
I love music from the ‘80s and ‘90s—especially pop and hip hop. Really, anything I can dance to!

Why do you support CBI Middletown?
The programming that CBI provides to children, families, and seniors is truly remarkable. They see the potential in every individual who walks through their doors and work to foster and develop that potential.

I’ve had the opportunity to see this firsthand through the RISE program. The way CBI supports social, academic, and leadership growth in the youth of our city will have a lasting impact—not only on those students, but on their families and the community as a whole. The staff at CBI are extraordinary and genuinely care about helping those they serve reach their fullest potential, supporting them every step of the way.

Middletown Rocks 2026! Are you ready to rock?

Middletown Rocks is the event of the year! Join the Community Building Institute Thursday, May 14th at the historic Sorg Opera House for a night full of singing, dancing, and community. This annual benefit concert raises funds to support CBI's summer, afterschool, and workforce development programs. Our peer-to-peer fundraisers are competeing to bring in the most dollars leading up to the concert. On May 14th, they'll hit the Sorg stage and we hope you'll be there to cheer them on! Patrons can look forward to seeing our performers backed by a live band (Live Your Dream), a showcase by our RISE students, and a special presentation to a local hero. A General Admission ticket grants you entry the Sorg, but select the VIP add-on to enjoy food, drinks, and festivities at The Windamere before the big show.
