Several breakthroughs came when she was a Westinghouse Broadcasting executive and launched the Designated Driver Program and the For Kids' Sake and Time to Care campaigns, resulting in nation-wide behavior changes and new public-private partnerships. Before entering television, she was press secretary to the late U.S. Senator Paul Tsongas.  A Tufts University graduate, she honed her listening skills as a news writer at CBS radio in Boston and as editorial director at WBZ-TV.
