Tell us what you’re doing with your life:
After graduation, I went on to get my MA at NYU while I worked as a Nutrition Educator. I then spent 35 years as a Medical Office Administrator, managing my husband’s practice. We have 2 wonderful daughters, Michelle and Erica ’05, a great son- in-law, Joel ’99, a terrific soon to be daughter-in-law, Leslie, and three extraordinary grandchildren, Juliet, August and Jude!

In what year did you last set foot on the Ithaca campus, and what was the purpose of your visit?
I am fortunate in that I return to campus several times each year. Reunion, Homecoming and Council are weekends I so enjoy!

List your favorite class(es) while at Cornell.
There are way too many classes to choose one favorite but I can certainly pick my least favorite–Organic Chemistry! The sight of Baker Hall still makes me shiver!!

Which piece of information or advice did you pick up while a student at Cornell that has been useful in the past 40 years?
I think we all learned very soon after arriving on campus that Cornell is not for the faint of heart. I learned the lesson of the rewards that come from hard work–it has served me well for over 40 years!

What advice would you give to a member of the Class of 2019?

4 years go by so quickly! Enjoy every minute!

What are you looking forward to at our 40th reunion in June,
2017?
We are working hard to plan our best Reunion yet ! I hope everyone will come back for a wonderful weekend. CU in June!
