BIOGRAPHY
Retired, and my husband & I have moved to Merano, Italy. As certified sommeliers, we may work in the wine or tourism industry. But first, we will take time off to learn Italian; travel; and volunteer for the Winter 2026 Olympics which will be held in Italy.
While I did serve in various public policy positions, I had a commitment to improvement: service: relationships. This trifecta, combined with an entrepreneurial energy and a strong advocacy background ,have been the cornerstone of my career and the key drivers behind a track record of success – in government relations, business development, journalist, litigator and lobbyist. I hope to transition this into a business in the Alto Adige region of Italy where we can introduce people to the amazing attractions of this region.
