She and her husband, Mick, and three children have been part time residents in Bethel for 30 years and are happy to now be here full time.

She next worked for several years at The Patriot Ledger, a daily in Quincy, Massachusetts. She has won several national and regional awards for her photography. Writing full stories (and not just cutlines for photos) is a new and exciting endeavor and she appreciates your patience as she tries to get it all right.
