I passionately contribute my time and energy on a local, regional, and national basis for the sake of women's rights/gender justice, social and environmental justice. As a Emeritus Board Member and former Director with March On/Future Coalition, Women's March San Jose Leadership Team & Advisory Board Member, Emerge '19 Alum, and appointed member and Vice Chairs of both the Santa Clara County Commission on the Status of Women and the CEDAW Task Force, and member of both Women Donors Network and Way to Win, I focus my work to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), advance voting rights for all, pursue criminal justice reform, and protect our environment. I helped to build partnerships and fundraise for March On, Future Coalition, and GENup to support our affiliate network expansion and collective progressive political power in order to make systemic changes.My community volunteer involvement has been strong while raising our daughters: I dedicated over 10 years to leadership including Co-Chair & Chair Advisory roles with Common Ground Speaker Series, a 30-school parent-education consortium; countless hours spanning 2006-2017 with Children's Musical Theater; six years with National Charity League; Board President of the Los Gatos-Saratoga Observation Nursery School; and two years as board officer and producer of two musical compilations on CD for Children's Voices for Charity. For 13 years, I was very active with my daughters' schools’ and indoor as well as beach volleyball travel teams, who both play(ed) at the collegiate level.Prior to starting my family, I was VP of Business Development at a tech startup. Up until then, I spent 17 years in Silicon Valley negotiating strategic OEM and licensing partnerships and selling technology solutions to both consumer and corporate marketplaces. I also co-founded Neighbors for Responsible Logging (in the Santa Cruz Mountains) whereby I lobbied with SF Bay Area County Supervisors on environmental policies.
