​
My personal and professional path has long been defined by membership in the family of helping professions. I followed a brief career in Clinical Genetics by a 20+ year career as a Physician Assistant providing health care services and counseling to young people and their families. I have extensive training in both pediatrics and end-of-life care.
As I approached 50 years old, I chose to change professional direction. I returned to school and earned a doctorate in Mythology and Depth Psychology. When the election cycle of 2016 came I changed my entire focus to support voting rights nationally and here in CT. Giving voice to the marginalized voices in our nation has been a recurring theme in my life.
At the moment, I lead 2 voting rights groups and serve on the Advisory Ctte for others.

Safe Vote CT, Co-Founder: meets weekly and has fought for expanded Absentee Ballot access here in CT. As these bills moved through the legislature, we have focused on writing testimony, Letters to the Editor, phone banking, etc to expand ballot acces to all eligible voters in CT. I am delighted to say that we have now passed 2 constitutional amendments in CT expanding our ballot access to include early voting as well as universal absentee ballot voting.
