I have worked in Communications in the U.S. Senate, abroad in Spain and for a coalition of civil and human rights organizations in Washington, D.C.
Current city, what you like about it and your hometown?
I love the libraries, the kindness of my neighbors and walking my dogs at the lake in Lorain. I was actually born in Colorado, but I grew up in Ithaca, NY. Northeast Ohio reminds me a lot of Ithaca: a lake, great food and so many beautiful places to walk.
What’s something people might not know about you?
I have two rat terriers and a cat!
What do you do outside of work?
When I’m offline, you can find me in my garden, quilting or reading. I love spending time with my family, especially my sisters (I have a lot of them!).
