As a member of Stockton-San Joaquin County association, she held many of the appointed Board positions, and with the exception of Governor, all elected officer positions. In the mid 1990’s her and her husband, Terry, moved to Oakdale, CA. In the late 1990’s, after working full-time in Modesto for several years, she transferred her membership from Stockton to the Stanislaus County LPA (“SCLPA”). While maintaining her membership with SCLPA, she took a break from being an active member so that her and her husband could raise their two sons. Now that her boys are grown and they are empty nesters, she is fulfilling a promise that she made to SCLPA that she would be back, and here she is! Since December 2006, she has been employed by Ross W. Lee, Inc., A Professional Law Corporation, although she has worked for attorney Lee since September 1999.
