Personal Biography
I came to Exeter in 1981 to work at Phillips Exeter as a guidance counselor. I raised my two sons in town and was active in local health policy, political and environmental groups. I left in 2002 to do additional graduate work, followed by extensive travel doing mission work in Africa, Haiti and the Dominican, Kazakhstan, Appalachia and Mississippi. After retiring, I settled down in Exeter where I serve on the Seacoast Public Health advisory Council and manage support groups for families of loved ones experiencing substance use disorder. I am active in my church where I serve on a resettlement team for a Ukrainian family.
Local Government Involvement
In 2017 I began a Coalition called Exeter Together. I gathered stakeholders to meet monthly to problem solve regarding the issues of mental health and substance use disorder in our community. I am also active in local environmental groups and the local Democratic Party.
