I am a lifelong resident of Pacifica. I have gone to school, worked, worshipped, volunteered and raised my daughter in our beautiful city. I love Pacifica and I care very much about the entire community.
I was drawn to community work after an alcohol related accident took the life of a family member in 2005. As the director of the Pacifica Prevention Partnership, I work to implement substance abuse prevention strategies throughout Pacifica and San Mateo County. I have secured over 1.5 million dollars in grant funding to help keep our community healthy and safe.
I serve as chair of Pacifica’s Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission and the coordinator of the Pacifica Collaborative. In these positions, I have created effective working relationships that connect people, share resources and enrich the community.
I believe in supporting community services that help people stay in their homes and responsible development to increase the number of affordable housing units. I believe that decisions made by city leaders should be thoughtful, logical and strategic. If elected I will serve to ensure a sustainable, healthy and inclusive community for us all.
