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.
