As a committed New Yorker I was surprised to find how much I loved Santa Barbara during Covid. Joining the Women’s Fund has been one of the highlights giving me opportunity to learn more about our community and give back. In NY I enjoyed teaching psychology and being a Class Dean at Barnard College Columbia University, having a psychotherapy practice, and attending a wide range of events including being a Central Park Conservancy docent. I continue those interests in SB doing volunteer work with Unity, the SB Humane Society and SBIFF among others.
