I love Manhattan Beach and care about its future.  

​

We  need leaders who will bring our community together to face our many challenges.  We are all hurting.  From businesses to schools, our seniors and families, and the City itself.   

I'm ready.  For nearly 30 years I have committed myself to public service in Manhattan Beach, bringing residents together to get things done. 

​

Before that, I spent 17 years with Ernst & Young  helping clients develop and implement financial, process and customer service systems to save money and deliver better, more efficient customer service to their clients.  I am ready to go to work for the City of Manhattan Beach to ensure we save every dime and answer every call.  

​

I'll use my nearly 20 years of experience and relationships with our school district to enhance our partnership, especially in light of the recent difficulties; my experience as a daughter caring for aging parents to enhance services to our older adults; and as the mother of 4 children, I want the next generation to enjoy  great schools, a healthy environment, a thriving business community, and safe streets.

​

Our City needs a leader that listens and acts with wisdom, responsibility, and positivity even in these unprecedented times.   I would be honored to earn one of your three votes on November 3rd.  

Let’s Go Manhattan Beach, Brighter Days are Ahead!
