Maxine Stitzer-Hodge
Maxine returned to a life-long love of song and dance toward the end of a long career in academic research at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. At Hopkins, she was a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry with a specialty in addictions research. She retired in 2019 after a 44-year career and sought out opportunities for seniors to sing and dance. Maxine has performed with the Senior Star Showcase at Essex Community College, the Paint and Powder Club of Baltimore, and the ShowTime Singers chorus based in Ellicott City, MD. She even dipped a toe into community theatre before Covid and enthusiastically supports the Dance & Bmore Elder Arts program. Other activities that round out life include travel, hiking, gardening, reading, and learning more about performing arts and artists. She has a very supportive husband and a step daughter who lives out near Deep Creek Lake in Western Maryland, a great place to visit.
