I moved to the Southeastern Massachusetts area in 1978 and have been involved in our community ever since. Currently, I am a Board Member of the Salvation Army of Fall River, a Board Member of the Greater Fall River Symphony Orchestra and a Board Member and Past President of the Fall River Rotary Club. I am also a current member of Charlton Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, a member of the Chamber of Commerce and a Corporator of Bank Five. In the past, I have also been a President of the Faxon Animal Rescue League, a Board Member and Secretary of the Homeless Shelter, a Hospice Volunteer, a Committee Member of the Southeastern MA Girl Scouts, and a United Way Volunteer. I also support many other organizations through yearly monetary donations.

Before becoming a Realtor in 2004 I worked for the Fall River YMCA for 26 years first as a Program Director and the majority of my tenure as Executive Director.
