My life choices have taken me to Providence (to attend Brown), Boston (to start my career in human resources at Harvard), San Francisco (to escape from all the snow and ice in New England), and finally the San Juan Islands in Washington state (to retire in a beautiful, peaceful place).

I consider myself a very lucky lady. I have had a wonderful, full life. I met the challenges of raising two children as a single mom. I had a career that thoroughly engaged me. And now my soul is nourished daily by all my volunteer activities.
