Why PCH? Why were you interested in joining the PCH Board and working for affordable housing in Princeton?

I am new to PCH though I have always worked in the affordable housing field professionally but based in NYC.  I am happy to have the opportunity to engage in these issues locally and have long been impressed with the staff at PCH and the incredible work that they have done.

What is your professional background?

I’ve spent my career working to create and preserve affordable housing. 

How long have you been in the Princeton area?

I moved to Princeton in 1988 from NYC. My husband was working on a PhD at Rutgers and working nearby so we moved to Princeton, thinking we would be here for a year or two.  Thirty-six years later we are still here.

What are your hobbies and interests?

Reading, cooking/eating, traveling and being outside doing almost anything including exploring cities, skiing, gardening and walking.
