I have lived in Orange County for 40+ years and my husband, Michael, and I have lived in Capistrano Beach for the past 17 years.  We have seen many changes in the landscape of both the county and the city over the years.  Dana Point’s landscape will soon be changing again with the implementation of the Harbor Revitalization Project, the Town Center Specific Plan and the new real estate development atop the Headlands.  It is important to have your elected officials understand how to integrate these projects into the current landscape without sacrificing our current sentiment of the small beach community look and feel. 

I am involved in the following professional, political, civic and other affiliations:

• Dana Point Planning Commission, Alternate
• Dana Point Lighthouse Society, Member
• Dana Point Historical Society, Member

• Real Estate affiliations: NAR, CAR, OCAR
• CHOC (Children’s Hospital of Orange County); Queen of Hearts Guild, Member

My education, certifications and licenses include:

• Master’s degree in Business Administration
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance
• Certified PMP (Project Management Professional)
• Real Estate Broker

I am currently a partner in a real estate and investment firm in Orange County.  My prior work experience included executive positions with several technology based companies and required routine domestic and international travel.

Routine business travel is no longer required for my business and I have the time and energy to devote to public service.  I would be honored to serve you as a member of the Dana Point City Council and I respectfully ask for your vote.
