I am an experienced and successful leader in non-profit development and have founded or served on the boards of more than fifteen organizations and volunteer initiatives. I not only have the vision to recognize opportunities to help others, but I understand the business side of establishing sustainable volunteer organizations from charter creation to fundraising to marketing. It has been my pleasure to focus on needs in my local Newport Beach community and find ways to export our successful models to other communities both in the United States and internationally. Causes I support include:
◆ Community and business development
◆ Sustainability and conservation (I'm a certified Naturalist Volunteer with Orange County)
◆ Dental and health care for those in need
◆ Veterans
◆ Special Olympics
◆ Education
A realtor with twenty-five years' experience, I use the same skills that have brought me professional success to envision, create, develop, and expand these local and international non-profit organizations. My most ambitious project is the "Doc-in-a-Box" series, which sends affordable health care microclinic facilities to countries in need. I serve as President of the Newport Beach Rotary Club.
