She moved to Seattle in 2001 and joined People For Puget Sound in 2002.   She works on reducing toxic pollution and protecting shoreline health in Puget Sound and also focuses on a range of Seattle issues – waterfront, habitat, storm water, and land use.

She has been a leader of Zero Waste Seattle which has run campaigns on food service ware styrofoam ban, plastic bags and reducing unwanted phone books, among other waste reduction efforts.

She enjoys camping and traveling but is a pathetic bike rider.
