Biographical Info
After a successful 20+ year career in education, I wanted to make a career change. However too young to retire, I have chosen to pursue an “encore career” as a business owner, investing in the Assisted Living Locators’ Franchise, no-cost senior placement service serving Western Cuyahoga and Lorain counties.
Originally from Southeastern Michigan, my husband and I have called the Cleveland metropolitan area home since October 2015 when my husband accepted a position as the Chief of Digital Innovation and Chief Information Officer for The Cleveland Foundation. We have one daughter who is currently a Master of Public Health Candidate at Case Western Reserve University’s School of Medicine. When not spending time with my family, I am active in my community as a Partner with Social Venture Partners of Cleveland, a philanthropic organization that funds and strengthens nonprofits, helping them take their vital work to the next level. Randomly, I am also a nationally ranked powerlifter, earning two national records for the deadlift for my age and weight class.
