About Me

It’s now time to speak for myself, following an enjoyable 40+-year communications career, during which I helped shaped public opinions on behalf of legendary Congresswoman Lindy Boggs (D-LA) and three respected associations (cable TV, natural gas utilities and AARP).

I am passionate about making health care and the U.S. economy work better for people of all ages and all incomes. My views are informed by my Catholic faith, which calls me to heed the call of Pope Francis to uplift “God’s people, not God’s ‘elite.'”

I’m an eternal optimist who’s been blessed by a strong family and good health. I’m madly in love with my husband of 30+ years…a volunteer reporter with AARP Virginia…and a novice blogger. I hope you enjoy my new gig.
