What a journey these last 50 years have been with
experiences I never would have imagined in high school. I'm
an alumna of both Scripps College in Claremont, CA and the
University of Arizona with a BA in history and political science
with an emphasis in international relations. A life-long
student, I received my MA in Educational Administration the
same spring as my middle daughter received her MSW from
Cal- Berkeley - 1996. I retired from a 27-year career at the
UA having served first as a member of the Arizona Office of
the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
assisting with accreditation services for over 400 K-12
Arizona schools and finally as a development associate with
the College of Education's Office of Development,
Scholarships and Alumni Relations.

My avocation has been as a volunteer both in the community
and in the Episcopal Church. My work in advocacy has
ranged from extensive research for the restoration of La
Casa Cordova located in the Tucson Museum of Art complex
to collaborating to establish a free clinic, in conjunction with
the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona, in the border towns of
Naco, Arizona and Sonora. I am trained in community
organizing and have been active in non-partisan political
work with issues around education and immigration.

The joys in my life have been my wonderful friends and family
- 3 amazing women who are my daughters and their children,
my three granddaughters and one grandson, ages 2 months
to 10 years old. I feel blessed with this journey and hope to
keep on traveling!!!

Looking forward to October - see you then.
