Why PCH? Why were you interested in joining the PCH Board and working for affordable housing in Princeton? And how long have you been on the Board?
I don’t remember the exact date when I joined the board, but it was approximately 1994. A friend who was on the board at the time asked me to attend a meeting saying she thought I would find it interesting. I liked the mission and the people, and knew families who lived at Princeton Community Village who were in my children’s classes and a part of the school system.
What is your professional background?
I came to Princeton University as an Assistant Engineering Librarian in 1974, after receiving my master’s degree in library science from Rutgers University. I received my B.A. from Douglass College in English and American Studies.
I worked at the University for eight years and then left to raise my children. I returned to the workforce as a Project Manager and Administrator at the software company Pedagogue Solutions.
What other volunteer activities do you participate in?
I am a long-time member of the Social Action Committee at The Jewish Center of Princeton. I am also a member of the Inter-faith Refugee Committee in Princeton.
How long have you been in the Princeton area and why did you come to this community?
I have lived in Princeton for 45 years and initially came here for my work at the University.
What are your hobbies and interests?
My hobbies are walking, dancing, step classes, swim classes, (exercise in general), reading (history, religion, novels), writing, baking, and cooking. I also enjoy gardening and traveling.
