Introduction

I'm interested in technologies that enable small businesses to grow and thrive. I'm a native of Evanston and a graduate of the University of Oregon. My husband and I own Roscoe Village Bikes. Prior to opening the bike shop in 2007, I was the Manager of Children's Programs at the Greater Chicago Food Depository. I like biking, yoga and spending time with family, friends and my rescue dog, Buddy.

I'm up for

Working together to make awesome things happen.
