Our board

I must start by saying it is an honor it is to be on the board of a such an amazing organization! My hope is that ReSources will continue to grow and evolve to meet the needs of the community even better. Within my career, I have worked in supply chain for the past 17-years. Over that span, I have worked in multiple sites and roles across the Midwest, Phoenix, California, and now in Tucson. I am currently the Senior Director at the Target Fulfillment Center on Rita Rd & I-10. I enjoy developing strategy, collaborating with key stakeholders, and coordinating efforts & resources to achieve great results! I am a proud resident of Corona De Tucson and cherish the greater Vail area. In addition to volunteering at the Food Bank as a food rescue driver, I enjoy traveling and visiting National Parks and National Monuments.

I am a retired lawyer and United States Marine Corps veteran originally from Michigan. My family and I have lived in Vail for the last 14 years. Since moving to Vail, I volunteered most of my time in the Vail School District as my children grew up. Now that both my children have graduated, I have expanded my volunteer efforts to encompass more organizations including the VFW and the Vail Food Bank. I have always been an advocate for the importance of serving others and giving back to the community. I am honored to be a part of the ReSources board and am looking forward to the future of the Vail community.

I am a native southern Californian who decided to leave the golden state for retirement in the beautiful and wild Sonoran Desert. My husband, Paul, and I have lived in Vail since 2009 and were attracted to it because of its beauty and rural atmosphere. As a former professional in the field of higher education administration I held many positions, the last of which were as associate dean and interim dean of the College of Extended Learning at California State University San Bernardino. In these roles, I worked closely with the university community and local partners to assess educational needs and address them through degree programs or tailored professional development. In retirement, I’m privileged to work with ReSources board and staff colleagues toward alleviating food insecurity and imagining a brighter future for our community.

I am originally from Kentucky, but moved to Tucson with my family as a child in 1967. I raised my family with my husband, Bill in San Jose CA. We moved back to Tucson and settled into Corona de Tucson in 2007 after my husband retired. I am the mother of 3 daughters and grandmother to 5 wonderful grandchildren. I have been a manager for Starbucks Coffee Company since 2001 and currently manage the 22/Harrison location. My degree is in health sciences, which I hope to use in my encore career when I retire. In my community I am on our HOA board, the Corona de Tucson Community Alliance and recently joined the Greater Vail Community Resources board. I have a passion for our desert, mountains and community. I love to cycle, walk my dogs, hike and work on DIY projects around my home.

I’ve lived in Vail since 2017, my wife, 4 kids and I have come to love this community, especially the wonderful people here. I was born and raised in Chiapas, Mexico, moved to the US at age 17 and became a US citizen in 2007. I’ve been a retail business owner for the last 19 years and have gained a lot of experience while managing it. Having graduated with a Master’s degree in Accounting from Brigham Young University has been instrumental in the success of the business. I’m a licensed CPA in Arizona but haven’t been able to practice Public Accounting to this point. I believe my unique perspective, background and experience can make a difference for our community as a member of the board.

My wife and I moved to Vail in 2018 because we were impressed by the small town, yet rural, atmosphere. We have grown to love the Arizona desert and the people of the area. After two different careers, I feel that I can share my experience and background and be an asset to the Resources board. With a degree in Engineering Physics, I became a Safety Engineer for a major property/casualty insurance company, working my way up to regional sales director and underwriting management positions. After 21 years with them, I decided to try things on my own, and started, built and sold a printing business. As the owner, I was responsible for everything, from sales to marketing to production. I sold the business 25 years later and retired to Arizona. My wife and I have been volunteers at the Resources Vail Food Bank since 2020, helping with food rescue from supermarkets and food delivery to homebound families. I look forward to serving on the Resources board, since I have seen firsthand the goodness the organization brings to the community.
