Born in Frankfurt, Germany, right after WWII, so that makes me a boomer babe. Reported about science for UC Office of the President in the 70's and worked for a high-tech startup in the 80s. Started a high-tech women's networking organization, Gracenet, in the 90's, that led a successful campaign to eliminate sexist advertising in tech media. Now host a monthly tech lunch at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley with the Berkeley Startup Cluster (www.berkeleystartupcluster.net/events) and a monthly Last Friday Ladies Lunch at the Hillside Club (www.hillsideclub.org), also in Berkeley. Am a core member of Albany Strollers & Rollers (www.albanystrollroll.org)and on the board of the East Bay Bicycle Coalition (www.ebbc.org), which promotes bicycling for everyday transportation and happiness.
