I began my career as a fashion designer and ultimately owned my own maternity wear company called Sweet Mama. I ran that for 25 years and then merged it into another company.

For my second career, I joined Emily’s list as a result of my anger over the Anita Hill hearings. I became the regional director and Northeast fundraiser for the next 18 years.
I retired about eight years ago and six years ago joined Mary to write postcards and to begin a speaker series for Seniors Taking Action.

A couple of months ago, Mary and I founded "We the Seniors.". Through our work on Seniors Taking Action we learned that there were many other senior activist groups around the country. It is our belief that by joining together to speak with one loud voice about the issue senior’s care about, we can make an impact.
