Much of her work features people and places in the Northwest, but she also produced documentaries in Russia, Ghana and four in Japan.

Many of her programs have been aired nationally by PBS and such varied groups as NHK in Japan, Super Channel in Europe, British Airways, and Armed Forces Television Services.

She was the first woman producer inducted into the Northwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Silver Circle.

This committee enabled the first American high school students in the nation to live and study in Japan.

She and her husband helped found the Seattle chapter of Amigos de las Americas, a program which at that time sent young people to give vaccinations and basic first aid in remote villages.
