Once my three children were college-aged and beyond, my volunteer focus shifted to figuring out where I could make a difference in San Antonio. In 2020, I saw a Facebook post that the League of Women Voters was looking for volunteers and I found “my people.” I officially became a member in early 2021 and joined the Community Outreach Committee. I was elected to LWVSA Board of Directors in 2023 and have served as the VP of Organization. I am excited to be serving as the president-elect this year.
My volunteer work also includes giving back to military organizations. I am a member of the Military-Civilian Club of San Antonio and served as the Military President during the 2023-2024 club year. Currently, I am on the board of the Military-Civilian Charitable Foundation.
I am a huge sports fan. My favorite sport is college football—Go Irish! I grew up in Chicago and am still a huge Cubs and Bears fan. My basketball allegiance has changed. There is just something about the Spurs that just makes you embrace them.
