I am a former journalist (25 years) who has branched out to working with non-profits on communications, strategic marketing and development. I have worked with Arts, Environmental and Social Service non-profits as a communications director, grant writer, consultant and event planner. I've lived in the Valley and Santa Barbara for about 8 years and would love to help make a difference in this beautiful place. I am on the board of the Women's Fund of Santa Barbara and have worked with the Santa Barbara Foundation and currently with People Helping People in Solvang.
