A native Buffalonian, she came to Ithaca in 1983 to attend Ithaca College and fell in love. After living in various places throughout the state, she and her family moved back to Ithaca in 2003 to work and raise her daughter. She feels blessed to have found a second home in Tompkins County. Her lifelong love of American history, theater and art are what makes her work with the History Center so exciting for her.
