She currently serves as a Human Rights Commissioner, a former Newburgh Housing Authority Commissioner, and has been volunteering for several community-based organizations for more than 35 years.

"I am so honored to be selected to return to Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County," said Malinda. "I live and was raised in Orange County; however, Sullivan is where I am 'home'. I miss the people and most of all the friendships that were developed over the years. I am excited and cannot wait to work with staff, both old and new, and the community."
