Candidate for
Councilmember; City of Albany

Bridging Groups

My fourteen years as Albany resident include working with multiple groups, bringing people together for tangible results. I've been an active volunteer at each level in the schools. I've learned about the complexity and challenges of school funding. I'm a founding board member of SchoolCARE, which has brought over 1.9 million dollars to the Albany schools since its establishment in 2001.

Economy

My 30-plus-year career as a graphic designer has given me a window into the workings of business. I've gained knowledge of how to communicate effectively, and what's needed to support success in business, from Wall Street to Solano Avenue. I'm focused on developing and sustaining a vibrant economy, with robust revenue.

Partnerships

My interest in education, concern for environmental and community well-being come together in my advocacy for an educational and community farm at the Gill Tract - a concept whose value is underscored in every day's news. I also advocate for adequate sports facilities - and for retaining the Little League Fields at their current location.
