This information is provided by the candidate

I have resided in the city of Pasadena for over 25 years. During this time, I have grown to understand just how fortunate my family and friends are to live in such a tremendous city. It is because of my love for this city and this district that I seek a seat on the city council.

I'm committed to working hard to maintain the high quality of life in Pasadena and equally committed to ensuring that all residents of the city and district have an equal opportunity to share in its bounty of resources. I plan to lead and inspire an inclusive community that is intent on each of our resident's fulfillment of their family's values and aspirations.

My successful 26 year career in banking as a senior executive, and my management of personnel and financial resources, has prepared me to serve as a powerful advocate on your behalf.

I know first-hand the benefits of passion, determination and ethics. As a product of public schools, I worked hard to put myself through USC and equally as hard to rise up the corporate ladder.

My volunteer time as member on the Task Force On Good Government, chaired by John Van de Kamp; President of the Challengers Girls and Boys Club Board of Trustees; Board of Trustee member at the Child Education Center affiliated with Caltech and JPL; Rose Bowl Aquatic Center Board member, Commissioner on the CA State Senate Cost Control Commission; and participation on several other boards and advisory groups confirm my dedication to service.
