Board of Directors

ABCF gives me the opportunity to make meaningful changes in breast cancer by being involved in breast cancer research, changing legislation to help those going through breast cancer, and reaching out to help the uninsured and underinsured with information and funding screening.

Committed to supporting breast cancer research/treatment and serving as a supportive resource to the community affected by breast cancer.

I have survived two bouts with breast cancer and one with ovarian cancer. I know well the fears and struggles of trying to get an accurate diagnosis and the best life-saving treatment in a system paved with insurance roadblocks and often impersonal medical staff members.  I joined the Alamo Breast Cancer Foundation for two reasons: to help other women get the care they need without the trauma I've suffered, and to lobby state and federal lawmakers to fund breast cancer research and make quality, affordable detection and treatment available to all women.

I worked at San Antonio Metropolitan Health District (16 yrs) and University Health System (10 yrs) before retiring in 2017, in the Breast and Cervical Cancer Services (BCCS), and have been a volunteer with Alamo Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF). Giving me the privilege to assist & navigate women in our community through our complicated medical system. ABCF has allowed me to not only educate & reach out to women in our community but, also educate & reach out to state & national legislators to make changes in programs related to breast cancer.

I am honored to serve on the board of directors of the foundation that has been there for me for over a decade. Through the knowledge and drive of the women in this foundation, I have been fortunate enough to be involved in getting bills passed and providing breast cancer screening and support to many women affected by breast cancer just like me.

After being diagnosed, I began volunteering at ABCF in 1996. One of my friends was the President of ABCF at the time, and she got me interested in science, being around people whom I might be able to help. I knew I wanted to do more, and in 1999 I became a board member and corresponding secretary. I later became President for 4 years then happy to turn it over to Beth Emery. I have met some wonderful patient advocates from all over the world who I would not know without ABCF. It is an honor and privilege to be a board member.
