Biography:

With over 25 years of experience as a small business owner and manager, I have acquired extensive management expertise in budgeting, bookkeeping, staff supervision, written communication, time management, systems management, networking, organization, marketing, and problem-solving.

Over the past 30 years, I have actively participated in and chaired many local boards and committees. I understand deeply the importance of meeting preparation and establishing appropriate organizational norms and procedures for success.

I am passionate about sustainability and its application across different facets of life. While the connection between sustainability and the environment is well-recognized, I believe that sustainability should play an instrumental role in all our work and life choices. Embracing sustainable practices can have significant positive impacts on multiple levels, and I am fortunate to engage in work that allows me to prioritize and promote sustainable practices in all my endeavors.
