Born in 1958 in Batavia, NY (a small, conservative farming community), my family was comprised entirely of registered Republicans. Only recently did I learn that my parents had voted Democratic ever since Nixon’s resignation!
When I turned 18 in 1976, I registered for the first time as an Independent, but cast my first vote for Jimmy Carter. I have voted in every election since then!
In 1979, I graduated with honors from Webber College, in Babson Park, FL with an ABS degree in Business Management and moved to Sarasota County.
In the 27 years that I have lived in this community, I have volunteered for the following organizations:
Habitat for Humanity
Sarasota County Arts Council
Taste of Sarasota
Sarasota County Sheriff’s Department of Animal Services
Sarasota Comedy Festival
Metropolitan Community Church
Adopt-A-Road
Adopt-A-Shore
Sarasota in Defense of Animals (founding member and director)
From 1986-1990, I was employed by the Humane Society of Sarasota County. While employed by the Humane Society, I held the position of Animal Cruelty Investigator for Sarasota County, by proclamation of the Board of County Commissioners.
Since 1999, I have worked as a tax and audit computer software technologist. In October of 2001, my partner and I moved to South Venice Beach, where we are very active in our community.
Currently, I belong to and serve the following organizations:
South Venice Civic Association (2-year Board Member)
South County Assembly of Neighborhoods (Steering Committee Member)
National Organization of Women (NOW) Venice/North Port Chapter
Democratic Executive Committee of Sarasota County
Venice Area Democratic Club (2-year Board Member)
Suncoast Stonewall Democrats (Founder and Acting President)
Captain of the Precinct 52 Democrats
