She is also a Wilson Islander.
After a forty-year career in higher education culminating with a decade in the executive administration at the greatest university in the world, UC Berkeley (condolences to the cardinal enclave down the peninsula), she retired in 2017, committed to researching and writing nonfiction histories (an oxymoron?) about Fresno for pleasure.
When she is not buried in archives or writing, she is in one of her other spaces for creative expression, her garden or her beading. She is a certified University of California Master Gardener who likes to experiment, design, and work with nature in the many microclimates of the half acre she tends. And when the heat is too extreme to be outside, she may be working on the latest seed bead creation or visiting friends.view less
