In 1994 my husband and I moved from Florida to start our lives in Portland. I started taking Taiko lessons in 2017 with a friend and fell in love with the art and how it strengthens the connection between mind and body. I recently concluded my 30-year career in the food and nutrition business and was delighted to be invited to be on the board of Portland Taiko. I’m looking forward to contributing to the next phase of its growth and evolution.
