My work has been in international development (US Peace Corps in Guatemala & Kenya), education (USA, UK, Germany) interactive multimedia (BBC & Anglo-German projects),  microfinance (financial inclusion for unbanked and underbanked) and today the Social Impact Game. I have lived and worked in the USA, UK, Germany, Spain, Guatemala, Kenya and short projects in other parts of Africa, India and China. 

My first 'job' after university in Massachusetts was as a US Peace Corps Volunteer in Guatemala 1965-67, where I founded the first women's weaving group. I have kept connected with three generations and have seen the huge social and economic impact from that work. 
Making a social impact with my work throughout my life has inspired me to co-found Learning without Borders with my business partner, Gabriel Flores, in 2011.

Through years of development, including a year’s work in China, we now offer our main programme, the Social Impact Game at the University of Nottingham and as an app world-wide (Autumn 2022) 
SIG is a five step programme of practical and professional skills for making a measurable social impact with your work. 




I am a member of the congregation at St Martin-in-the-Fields, a church well known for its social causes with the homeless and international issues.
As hobbies I enjoy the gym, transcendental meditation, travelling, walking (I've done the London to Canterbury Pilgrimage from St Martin's many times), cooking with friends, enjoying London, especially theatre, museums and South Bank events.  I'm a member of several networking groups, mainly for entrepreneurs, technology, financial inclusion. (I co-founded the UK’s Financial Inclusion Forum in 2005 as UK Coordinator for the UN Year of Microcredit for which the UK won UN & World Bank awards.) 

I am a social entrepreneur, using my resources for projects that make a social and economic difference. Income from Airbnb goes towards my other work, as I jokingly say, to support my habit. I speak five languages, unusual for an American. I've been in the UK since 1973 and fondly call the UK home, although I am grateful for my American roots and being brought up in a multicultural family of ten children. 

You will find this home lively, welcoming, fun, cosmopolitan, well-informed and focused on being an expression of my life's purpose: modelling a future worth living

I have had the good fortune to host amazing AirBnB guests with most interesting lives. I love the AirBnB spirit of helping people of similar interests to get to know one another. Also, I've been able to connect AirBnB guests with others, linking them through our joint similar interests in technology, entrepreneurship, social enterprise and living a life without borders.
