She earned an M.S. in Urban Studies/Planning degree in 2002 from Southern Connecticut University where most of her papers were concerned with mass transit and smart growth planning. Some of these papers can be found under a "mass transit" search at archive.org.

She will continue to update this article with information from reports and news articles in her extensive archives of the history of delayed Connecticut transportation projects. Those interested in these archives can contact her through the talk page here.
