What do you do in your new position at the University of Cincinnati?
I assist the UC Foundation President—Rod Grabowski—in leading, organizing, and overseeing planning, strategies and operations of the UC Foundation Board of Trustees.

What do you like best about this job?
For the past 20 years, my career as a board professional has equipped me to ensure the success of boards in higher education. With a focus on the core mission of boards and their governance roles, I am gratified when extraordinary leaders work to improve the lives of students, faculty and staff of institutions of higher education. It is a privilege to my alma mater because U.C. prepared me well for a great and successful career. I am a proud UC alum who feels like Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" because there is no place like home. I have ruby red slippers in my office.
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati? 
Living and working in the Greater Cincinnati region is the best of both worlds. The community is willing to open its arms to new people and encourage their involvement. More importantly, this area was a GREAT place to raise our three sons who are very successful in their own lives.  
 
What part of town do you live in, and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
About 23 years ago, we moved from northwest Dayton to West Chester (Beckett Ridge area). My husband’s job is in downtown Cincinnati, and I commuted to Dayton for those years. West Chester was the “perfect” half-way location for us. We LOVE the sense of this growing and diverse community along with its stunning economic growth, proximity to our hometown of Dayton, the strong and vibrant Lakota School District, along with many great recreational venues. It truly has become a great home for us.
