I told fellow classmates at graduation that I would live anywhere but Washington, D.C.  No way was I ever going to live in Washington, D.C.  I would live in the North Pole or Siberia before I would live one moment in Washington, D.C.

I've been living here in Washington, D.C. for the past seventeen years.

During my freshman year in college I joined the Reagan/Bush campaign and that was that.  My senior year in college I was an intern (before Washington intern meant other things) at the National Journalism Center in Washington, D.C.  I graduated from Roger Williams University in Rhode Island with a BFA in Creative Writing and Theatre (spent a portion of my Junior year studying in London) and set off for a career in politics in our fine Nation's Capitol.  I worked for Senator Jeremiah Denton,
Senator Bob Packwood, Senator William Roth, the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, and the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI ) doing secret stuff.  I also worked on the staffs of two large Episcopal Churches and have become embroiled in Episcopal Church politics as well, serving on the Legislative Committee of the American Anglican Council (AAC).

Currently I am an event planner in the conference center of a global law firm, Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld.  I hope to marry some day (at least once), but the thought of changing diapers while everyone else is sending the kids off to college is frightening!  In the meantime, I'm looked after by two Maine Coon Cats, Emily (age 18) and Madeleine (age 2).  On the weekends I enjoy antiquing in the country, traveling to distant places far from Washington, writing, hanging out with friends and
family, planning parties, and redecorating my apartment.  My favorite places are Manhattan, London, and Santa Cruz, CA.  I miss Hawaii terribly and can't even talk about it without having a box of Kleenex nearby.  I also love writing to fellow Radford grads!  This best class ever: The Class of '79!
