{geni:occupation} Social Service Administrator (retired), techophile, feminist
{geni:about_me} After many years in school to earn an M.A. in history and a Ph.D. in Plasma Physics, I ended up spending the majority of my work life in an entirely different field. I worked for 28 years at and was Executive Director of [http://www.oberlincommunityservices.org/ '''Oberlin Community Services'''], a social service agency serving low-income persons in the Oberlin area.

Since retirement, I have consulted on various projects to local non-profits. In addition I have spent a lot of time on genealogy, renewing an earlier interest in European history. This activity has brought me in touch with many members of my family and previously unknown distant relatives. .

I have been active on Geni since 2007 and over time have become more skilled in researching U.S. and European records. My main involvement has been with the Austria-Czech group on Geni and JewishGen.org. I have created various Kehilalinks sites on JewishGen and projects on Geni, attended genealogy conferences, and collaborated with those active in Czech Jewish genealogy. The digitization of Czech Jewish vital and familianten records has created excitingnew opportunities for research and connection to others.

In 2014, I edited and published a memoir, [http://www.amazon.com/The-Making-Scientist-A-Memoir/dp/1499630093 ''The Making of a Scientist''''''''] written by [http://www.geni.com/people/Calvin-Souther-Fuller/4016892228500128400 '''Calvin S. Fuller'''], a research scientist at Bell Telephone Laboratories who co-invented the solar cell (and my father-in-law). I included a family tree based on my research on the Fuller family and many historic photos in the book. The project combined my interests in science, early 20th century Chicago, and family history.
