I represented the Montgomery County (Maryland) Education Association and the Consumer Federation of America for community and government relations. I directed publishing and outreach for the National Library Services for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. At The American University, I directed a large publishing operation. At the height of my career in the nonprofit sector I was best known for creating organizational identity programs. I considered side work as an artist therapy from a demanding life.
I was a volunteer in historic preservation and environmental affairs, my church, and Democratic politics. I continue to write, edit, and publish for community groups. I have traveled throughout the Americas and Europe.
As a kid, I did not imagine an adult life of working and playing hard and never having enough time to finish my to-do lists. I have no memory of thinking about what I would be when I grew up. As the mother of four girls and a son, I claim four overlapping careers—in the world of communications, as a parent with nineteen grand children, my love affair with Bob Robinson, and being an artist.
Staff, employers, and professional organizations have recognized my contributions graciously and in an exuberant spirit. Before marriage and between children, after attending the University of Florida, Upper Iowa University, and the University of Maryland, I earned a bachelor’s degree+ in public administration plus hundreds of hours of specialized training in management and employment practices, labor relations, editorial standards, art and design.view less
