My Encore Story

I am Managing Editor of Encore.org for Civic Ventures, where we’re building a community of people seeking encore careers that combine continued income with meaningful work that contributes to the community.

Since 2003, I have served on the City Council in Burlingame, Calif., where I have promoted civic engagement and better communication between our city and its residents. Among the initiatives we have started are a Neighborhood Network emergency preparedness and civic communication program; a Community Wish List that links nonprofits with individuals who have talents, time or skills to share with them; a computer-based tracking system that gives prompt responses to every inquiry to City Hall; and an annual pet parade.

My Bio

I am a veteran journalist who was a reporter and editor for the San Mateo (Calif.) Times, then worked as a writer and editor for the San Francisco Chronicle and as Assistant Managing Editor of Forbes ASAP magazine. I was the founding Community Manager for Expedia.com’s Family Travel and Adventure Travel Forums, and I ran an out-of-print book search firm.

I transitioned to the nonprofit world in 2002, when I became Managing Editor of GreatSchools.net. I later served as Communications Officer for the Skoll Foundation. In 2003 I was elected to the City Council in Burlingame, Calif. I am a 2003 graduate of the Coro Center for Civic Leadership’s Community Fellows leadership program and a 2006 graduate of the League of California Cities’ Civic Leadership Institute. During 2007, I served as mayor and was re-elected. I earned a B.A. in English from the University of Washington in Seattle.
