Most of my adult life, I have done Volunteer work for numerous fund-raising events.

I organized and ran a Golf Event at Laurel Valley Golf Club to raise funds for Dr. Joseph Kelley's Breast Cancer Research for three years in a row.

I have served as a Board member of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  I was a member (2004-2019) of the 25 Club of UPMC of Magee-Womens Hospital; a group of 25 women who for 75 + years have raised funds for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Magee.  I served as Vice President of Finance and President of the Club.

I currently serve on the Board of Directors of UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital.

With the untimely death of my younger sister (whom we  referred to as the 'artist in the family' ) I found the desire to start drawing again, which was something I had not done in years.  Hoping to...'leave my mark in her honor.'

While rediscovering my love of art happened a little later in life, I feel you are never too old to do something you love, and if you are passionate about what you do....somehow opportunities and a career might find you instead of you finding it!
