Biography

Working as the Business Manager here at Crane integrates my eleven years of experience as a teacher and my ten years of experience working in business.

After graduating from USC, I took a teaching position and continued working in early elementary classrooms for several years. When my three children came along, I took the opportunity to be home with them and worked part time in health care administration. As they grew we relocated to Palo Alto, and I went to work for Stanford University at the Medical Center. Eventually I became the Director of International Services and traveled extensively in Asia, evaluating medical systems in countries from Hong Kong to Indonesia.

I took an opportunity to move to Santa Barbara, where I continued to serve as a consultant to Stanford for the next year, before returning to education. The journey to Crane has been a wonderful adventure, and I am so delighted that it has brought me here.
