I am a past governor of Soroptimist International, a past president of Olive Crest Abused Children's Shelter, a lector at St. Gall Catholic Church, and I have worked with non-profit organizations to help eliminate drugs and gangs in schools. I am fortunate to have had my work recognized with these awards: Woman Power PAC Woman of the Year, Girl Scouts of America Leadership Award, Olive Crest Abused Children Shelters Service and Leadership Award, and the Mentor Network Award for Business Development.
