I'm a mom with two great kids and a fabulous (and supportive!) husband, Phil. We've lived here for over 25 years and have a deep connection to the community that can only be achieved by living and volunteering here for decades.
BUSINESS SKILLS: In my professional life I'm known as a skilled manager; an innovative marketing and business development pro with a track record of forging effective partnerships and instilling tight operational and fiscal controls.
I've been a director within Microsoft Research, a VP at AOL, and CEO of subsidiary of Technicolor. I've managed multi-million dollar budgets, carried quota responsibilities, and
my various leadership roles have given me full profit & loss experience and the ability to build consensus between disparate groups.
