My name is Mimi Vaillancourt. I studied Economics and Computer Science, and graduated from the University of Connecticut. For 23 years, I was a software engineer in the computer industry, working for such companies as Computervision, Digital Equipment, and Broadcom Corporations. I have also been involved in playwrighting, watercolor painting (exhibited and sold my work), hiking, and biking (biked a century).
I am a Democrat.
Mostly, I am simply a citizen of this country who has avidly followed the news throughout my adult life, and passionately believes that one of the most important prerequisites for Democracy is a truly robust and vibrant free press.
