My parents emphasized the value in helping others, motivating me to pursue ways to help the community. My father, Dennis Biondo Sr., is the Director of Kane Nursing Homes, an organization that provides nursing care for low income seniors, and my mother, Cathey Biondo, recently retired from her position as an elementary school teacher’s aid at Evergreen Elementary, assisting with special education
students. Then attended Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania where I graduated in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a minor in History. During the summer of my college years, I was Summer Help with the Monroeville Municipal Authority before working as an intern in the Monroeville office of Senator Sean Logan (D). I went on to Duquesne University School of Law and graduated in 2009 with a Juris Doctor. While at Duquesne, I served as President of the Public Interest Law Association. As President, I directed the silent auction that benefited interns in public interest law careers and organized community service projects for the Allegheny County community. I currently work as an attorney for the Allegheny County Law Department and previously spent five years in the Allegheny County Public Defender’s office. While at the Public Defender's Office, I worked in the Juvenile Division, Trial Division and Pretrial Division. I am now married with 1 year old twins. I hope to instill in my children the same values my parents instilled in me.
