Hello!

I spent most of my life in Illinois, graduating from Univ. of Illinois (B.S. in Finance/Accounting) and Univ. of Chicago (MBA) in the early 1980s. I worked for United Airlines for most of my 40+ working years with a short stint at Arthur Anderson and then at National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

My husband, John, and I raised our four children in a northwest suburb of Chicago but always dreamed of retiring out west. Since we had vacationed in the WY/MT area nearly every other year, our first choice was somewhere near YNP. We fell in love with Bozeman after spending a month here in May 2014 and purchased our current home in September 2014.

I worked remotely from Bozeman for United since July 2015 and retired in 2023. The majority of my time at United was spent doing budgeting and forecasting of line pilot salaries and productivity.

Since retiring, I have thoroughly enjoyed volunteering at the Bozeman Senior Center as their “tech help.” I also spend time with the Gallatin Valley Newcomers Club, organizing short hikes and playing pickleball. Two of my children live here in Bozeman and I spend a great deal of time with my two grandchildren, Carter and Peyton. With all those activities, I am still looking at additional meaningful ways to fill my time, thus my interest in the Co-op Board!
