Candidate for
Member of the State Assembly; District 73; Democratic Party

I live in San Clemente. I manage projects and perform business analysis for Syncata, an IT Consulting/Software Development company with headquarters in Long Beach, CA. I have recently achieved PMP certification in project managment. My husband is a licensed PE, mechanical engineer, working at Fluor Corp.

I have an MBA in marketing and finance from the University of Chicago, and an MA in math from Ripon College. I taught math as Peace Corps Volunteer in Belize.

My interests and commitments are demonstrated by my membership in the following organizations:

• League of Women Voters (past Finance Chair position)
• South Orange County Democratic Club
• AWT-OC (Association of Women in Technology)
• JFK Good Works Democratic Club
• Sierra Club
• RPCV-OC (Returned Peace Corps Volunteers)

I have lived in Southern California for 20 years. I grew up in Madison, WI with a strong sense of family, neighborhood and community where family discussions of politics and issues were common. Many relatives held local and state elected positions. It's in my blood to strive for a better world and help my community!
