A litigator and community volunteer, Carolyn has devoted over 20 years to public service, mostly in Montgomery County. Now the Chief Deputy Solicitor for Montgomery County, Carolyn became the first woman Chief Public Defender for Montgomery County. Carolyn was a federal prosecutor in United States Attorney's Office where she prosecuted large scale drug dealers, white-collar fraud, and health care crimes. She created the first federal asset forfeiture unit in Delaware which seized millions of dollars, real estate, and personal property and returned it to state and local authorities.
As Chief Deputy Solicitor, Carolyn supervises contract negotiations, real estate transactions, personnel, and farmland and open space. She also interfaces with row officers and elected officials on the federal, state and local levels. In her first year as solicitor, Carolyn negotiated and completed the purchase of a $27 million asset which saved Montgomery County one million dollars in broker and legal fees.
On behalf of Montgomery County, Carolyn has been fighting to keep the Barnes Foundation in our county. The Barnes Foundation is a world class gallery and school of impressionist art.
Carolyn is in leadership and management positions in several community and charity endeavors, including: the Montgomery County Community College Foundation Board of Directors, Triangle Club (where she became the first woman director), Columbus Monument Committee (President), the Montgomery Bar Association (Vice President), Pennsylvania Bar Association (Vice Chair, Government Lawyers Committee), Americans of Italian Heritage Council (Former Solicitor), Willow Grove Air Force Base Land Reuse Authority (Director), and Montgomery County Campaign Contribution Commission (Chair).
She is a former co-chair of the Montgomery County Board of Elections, and is active in the Montgomery Bar Association, where she is soon to be one of three women presidents in its 125 years.
