Philanthropic passions: Access to education, supporting the elderly and youth of society, as well as historic preservation.
Why she volunteers for KWGB: "At the top of the list of reasons why I volunteer for Kenyon Women Giving Back steering committee? One, I care about supporting other women and two, I was asked by a friend to participate. One reason why people do not give time or money is because they have not received a personal invitation to do so. Receiving that invitation made it easy for me to get involved and to remember where I've come from — a family of strong women helping others succeed."
