(im)(e)migrant, aerobics instructor, daughter, business manager, mother, friend, writer, sister, educational consultant, wife, and activist for the NJ Council for the Humanities and Society for Values in Higher Education. In a previous incarnation, she was a Philosophy teacher, cook, student, carpool driver, as well as a founding member of the Ridge and Valley Conservancy.
