Business Professional – Community Leader – Parent
My parents moved our family to Simi Valley in 1978, and this has always been home to me. I went to school here, met my husband here, raised my daughter here, and have spent decades giving back to our community.
I believe in contributing my time and skills to make Simi Valley a better place to live. I’m a graduate of the Leadership Simi Valley program, a past Chair of Neighborhood Council Executive Board #1, and serve on the Board of Directors of the Boys & Girls Club of Moorpark & Simi Valley. Over the years, I’ve supported and participated in many local organizations dedicated to making a difference.
Professionally, I bring decades of business experience leading large teams and managing multi-million-dollar projects and programs. I’m a collaborative problem-solver who listens, learns, and focuses on root causes to deliver effective, lasting solutions.
I lead by listening—and I believe that the best ideas come from working together, not talking past one another.
“I have always believed that a lot of the problems in the world come about because people talk about each other instead of to each other.” – Ronald Reagan
So please reach out and let me know what you think are Simi Valley’s most pressing problems and best opportunities. I look forward to hearing from you and working together to move Simi Valley forward, together.
