After graduation, I attended Kalamazoo College where I graduated in 1981 with a B.A. in Sociology/Anthropology. Immediately after graduation, I moved to southern California where I lived until 1993. While I was there, I went back to school to get my MBA, got married and had one daughter who is now graduating from high school herself.

In 1993, we moved back to Michigan and have lived in Dexter since then. I'm working at Bank of Ann Arbor as a Sr. Credit analyst. My husband Doug is the General Manager for a family-owned prototype machine shop. My daughter is planning to attend Purdue University next year.
