She's spent over thirty years in Philadelphia as musical performer and recording artist.  She sat for two years as the Board Parent Representative at Independence Charter School where her children attended for thirteen years. During her time as an ICS Board member, she contributed to a strategic planning initiative that examined and revealed inequities and disparities across the school within admissions, curriculum, student achievement, and overall health and well-being within the student body. This work lead to a significant restructuring of the school curriculum, mission, and values to fully embody equity, trauma informed advocacy and training, and other supports to achieve best possible outcomes for students, families and staff.  She is a member of the Association of Professional Fundraisers and is Board Treasurer for Azuka Theater.
