Attended college for several years before finishing my bachelors degree. Got Married in 1993 and lived in Michigan from 1994 to 1999 where my two children were born. Was a full-time mom and community volunteer with a zoo and on women and children issues from 1996 to 2006. Moved to El Paso, TX and Washoe, NV (south of Reno) from 1998 until 2001. Moved with family back to California immediately after Sept 11. Settled in Modesto in 2002 where kids started and complete school. Continued as at home mom, son diagnosed with autism in 2005 and daughter excelled through her high school graduation earning over $160,000 in college scholarships. Separated in 2006 and returned to full-time work first as an executive assistant promoted to ann administrator position applying my education, work-experience, and volunteer hours in non-profit organization, finance, strategic planning, and communications. Transitioned to healthcare administration as an executive director of a nonprofit direct primary care practice in 2010, earned a MBA in health systems management in 2013, hired as CEO of health care district in 2016. I continue to live in Modesto, and still work in Patterson as a CEO. Enjoy regular domestic and international travel, often with my sisters, Diane and Mary Ellen, together with out families. Home time is spent with friends, gardening, crochet (took it back up during COVID - lol), watching SF Giants and GS Warriors. Travel up to Potter about six times a year. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
