My husband Yanni and I moved from Connecticut to the Bay Area thirty years ago, happy to leave cold, snowy winters behind. We didn’t know we could love the Bay Area more until we found our forever home in the Estates eight years ago. We are fortunate to have friendly neighbors and a great sense of community within The Villages.
I have been an active member of our community, serving as Secretary of the Villages Camera Club, as a member of the Homeowners’ ACC, and of the Estates DAC.
My work experience includes nine years as a Principal Consultant supporting marketing projects for international Medical Diagnostic companies, eighteen years at LifeScan, a J&J Company, in a variety of roles, including people management, project management, sales and marketing support, quality assurance, and field product support, and over fifteen years in the hospital industry in managerial and technical roles in the Clinical Laboratory. I have a BA in Medical Technology, an MBA, and an MS in Pathobiology.
My favorite activities are photography, golf, walks with Yanni and our dog Lenny, traveling to Greece and CT to visit friends and family, and socializing with my good friends in The Villages.
My goal is to represent your interests through open communication and strong collaboration with the Association and Club Boards, and Management team. Fiscal responsibility is of utmost importance as the community navigates an ever-changing regulatory environment and fire safety requirements. I look forward to being an advocate for your needs and concerns.

I moved to the Villages in June 2013 with my wife Susan after living in the Bay Area for 30 years. We discovered the Villages while looking for a golf course gated community close to family. We found a SFH in Hermosa and have enjoyed our new neighbors and the friends we have made here while preparing for retirement.
I am active in Villages governance by serving on various board and committees.
Marketing Committee – 4 years, Chair for 3 years
EVF – Director for 10 years serving as Marketing Director, Projects Manager, COF coordinator.
ACC – member for 4 years, 3 years as Chair
CAC – currently a voting member.
HBOD – Director and secretary and currently CFO, HBOD appointed Chair to the ACC
I was born and educated in London, England
I began my working career in accounting, swiftly moving to an international trading company where I was CFO, overseeing both domestic and European offices.
We moved to the San Francisco area in 1983 where I worked for eighteen years as head of an international import and distribution company. In 2002 I co-founded Silk Road Associates LLC, an overseas sourcing and trading company with offices in Shanghai and San Jose producing both private brand and our own brand products. I have in-depth knowledge of business management in manufacturing, marketing, and distribution. I am still active in Silk Road Associates today.
I feel that my business background together with my knowledge of the Villages and the various committees on which I have served will be an asset to HBOD. I am committed to building a socially responsible community to protect our current assets and plan for the growth and wellbeing of all residents, present and future.
