Questions & Answers

1. What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit)

I have served two terms on the Amberley Village Council during which I have developed an understanding of what makes a successful village. I serve on eight committees, two of which I chair. Prior to serving on Council I was President of the Walnut Hills High School Parent Board.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

I would encourage a plan for the Crest Hills site that would improve our quality of life by providing increased recreational and social opportunities such as bike paths, hiking trails, and a village green. I would support a plan to preserve public green space and provide for diversified housing for empty nesters, young professionals, and growing families. Amberley could create a quaint "village within the village" that would incorporate the best of yesterday's traditional neighborhoods with today's lifestyles. I would continue to increase community involvement with our new neighborhood school via construction updates, question and answer sessions, and a website registry for families with young children. I will continue to work with our engineers on the planning and execution of our stormwater projects.

3. What steps would you take to ensure that all public facilities are accessible to people with disabilities? (100 words limit)

It is my understanding that our village hall is accessible to people with disabilities.
