Candidate for
Council Member; Town of Los Altos Hills

Serving the community is one of my passions. I am currently on the Los Altos Hills Community Relations Committee as well as the Ad Hoc Housing Element Committee.

On the Community Relations Committee, I continue to work with the Los Altos Hills Fire District to implement the Neighborhood Network Program + helping neighbors get to know each other and be trained in emergency preparedness.

Other passions include preserving open space and Bay Area sustainability. I have served on the Board of Committee for Green Foothills because I value our protection of open space, and also in honor of my mother Gertrude Sherlock who was an active environmentalist and served on the Town Planning Commission. I have also served on the Board of Sustainable Silicon Valley dealing with carbon generation and water preservation issues.

My home, where I was born and raised, is off Moody Road, looking over Hidden Villa. I purchased the home from my mother in 1991 and have been fortunate enough to raise my three daughters here. They have benefited from our great schools, warm neighbors and beautiful environment.

Currently, I am Director of Marketing at SAP LG in Palo Alto a business software company. I carry a BA degree from the University of California at Berkeley and have worked for 30 years in high tech marketing.
