Bibliographic information
| Biographical Profile | A fifth generation Californian, I grew up in the middle of family and fields in the San Joaquin Valley. Education, creativity, and curiosity were key in my upbringing from childhood through Stanford through my various careers and especially being a mom. I started as a Process Engineer for Diamond Shamrock Chemical Company in Redwood City making ion exchange resins. I have three wonderful daughters of whom I am very proud. In my current incarnation, I am painting a multiple wall Madhubani style Indian art installation at Ohlone College to increase cultural understanding. Our class designed this work throughout the pandemic. The uplifting splash of color and light is a positive addition to the campus. Each day is an opportunity to increase understanding and learning. As a student at Stanford during the transition period of the late sixties, early seventies, I saw first-hand that open-mindedness and inclusive listening are rare and valuable. |
