My life has been a rewarding series of adventures and learning. I developed several successful businesses but have enjoyed most of all, contributing lots of volunteer hours to nonprofits of which Meals on Wheels, Shepherd Center, Save the Children, Care, Children's Defense Fund, are just a few. I am the Human Services Chair of Fairfax Federation of Citizen Assocations and VP of Oakton Women's Club and a member of Ayr Hill Garden Club. My current passion is digital education and training for older adults whose quality of life can be enhanced through the use of the new smart devices that are user friendly.

I have lived on both coasts of the US, and got long stints in Milan, Italy, Perth, Australia and lots of other wonderful destinations while involved with the America's Cup. Currently I live in wonderful Northern Virginia. I am Mom and married to a hard core weekend sailor. Lots of personal interests, adding to them all the time.
