Bio

I am a retired math educator, author and entrepreneur and I have long dreamed of a community where I felt deeply connected. I felt that strong sense of connection at various points in my life: as a child spending summers with my grandparents in their small town and farm in Oklahoma; traveling and living abroad in Nepal and Peru; and as a young family in a newly built suburban community. Since the pandemic, that deep sense of connection has not been as easy to create or maintain so I started researching alternative community options in 2016. That led me to discover cohousing. In visiting nearly two dozen communities both in person and virtually, I didn’t find exactly what I was looking for so I decided to start Gratitude Village Colorado!

I am excited for this new adventure and look forward to living in community with friends old and new along with my daughter, our dogs, Ollie & Nova, and our parakeet, Mr. Pickles!
