Personal Information:

I have an interesting and diverse background with a wide range of interests that include: healthcare, complimentary medicine, emergency management, psychology, small group facilitation, social science research, public administration, organizational development, higher education, financial services, ecology, geo-politics, philosophy and religion.

I hold a B.S. in Human Services (Lesley College, 86') an M.A. in Psychology (CIIS, 93') and an MPA (CSU, Hayward, 96'). I am licensed in both California and Oregon (in Nursing) and have Series 7, 63 and 31 certification (Financial Services).

Over the past two decades I've served on numerous boards and committee's and have volunteered countless amounts of time, energy and resources to various political, educational, environmental and healthcare related organizations.

Most recently I was a member of the steering committee for Ashland, Oregon CERT (Community Emergency Response Team). Currently a member of Sustainable Petaluma as well as member of The North Bay Energy Transition Summit Planning Committee and the Consortium for Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology.

I have been a Bay Area resident (more-or-less) since 1977 (originally from N.Y.) and a Petaluma resident for about two years. I'm single (divorced with no children) and currently share a lovely home with a wonderful six year old Springer Spaniel named Britt!
