A Danbury resident, Walsh has donated her time and expertise to the Fairfield Foundation for Education, the Fairfield Rotary and the Fairfield University Alumni Association.

An actress, cellist and longterm volunteer at the Palace Danbury, Walsh says she is “…thrilled to be able to combine my passion for business with my life-long artistic interests and serve an organization like the Cultural Alliance that exists at the crossroads of these two exciting areas.”
