I was born and raised in San Francisco and have been a resident of Santa Rosa for over 50 years. I’m a
retired teaching assistant and caregiver. I have three grown children – a son who is a teacher living in Warsaw, Poland, two daughters living in Santa Rosa, and six grandsons. I am one quarter Italian from the Piedmont area. My passions have been art, music and traveling to archaeological sites. I returned to
college to get a degree in archeology and anthropology. I’ve done tour directing to Yucatan, Mexico, and “digs” in the southwest. Currently I’m a fine artist in oils and co-president of Artists Roundtable. I have been on the NBICF Board of Directors for five years and been singing with Coro Allegro for 15 years. I have also acted with Actors Theatre for Children and many years ago with “ACT”. I love gardening, billiards, bocce ball, cards, traveling and just getting involved with fun and interesting people and my family.
I also volunteer at Assistant League of Sonoma County for the last 19 years, was past president of
Sonoma County Museum Auxiliary and on the Board of Directors of Senior Advocacy Services (SAS)
of Sonoma County.
