I am a co-support group leader for the Montgomery Area Support Group. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from Wayne State University in Detroit Michigan. I am a proud retiree, after 35 years of service with General Motors Corporation and Electronic Data Systems (currently HP) with the opportunity to do what I call “my heart’s work”, things that are dear and important to me. I am married with three daughters, four granddaughters and two grandsons.

Through my experience, I can definitely encourage others to be hopeful and resilient!
