I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona.  I graduated from the University of Colorado School of Pharmacy in 1977.  My husband, David, and I met at CU in 1971 and after living in Los Angeles while he attended UCLA dental school we moved to Grand Junction where he was born and raised.  We have two adult daughters.

I became a member of the parish in 2015.  I have worked for City Market in some capacity since 1981.  I volunteered as the Consultant Pharmacist for Marillac Clinic from 1998-2008.  I served on the board of the Grand Mesa Youth Soccer organization for 3 years from 1997-2000.
