Meet the Team
Ulster Prevention Council is powered by a small but dedicated team working to support youth, families, and communities across Ulster County. From prevention education to community partnerships, each team member plays a role in helping UPC’s work show up where it matters most.
The People Behind the Work
UPC’s team brings together experience in education, public health, and community engagement. While their roles may differ, they share a common focus: making prevention approachable, relevant, and effective for the people they serve.
Below, you can learn more about each team member and the work they lead throughout the community.

Working Across the Community
Much of UPC’s work happens beyond the office. The team regularly collaborates with schools, service providers, local organizations, and community groups to deliver programs, trainings, and resources directly to the people who need them.
