As a parent, a volunteer, and a business owner, Jody Thomas has been an advocate within her community for over 20 years. A single mother for many years, Jody always made sure she was involved in her daughter Clara's school activities.

In addition to the hard work of being a single parent, Jody has also successfully managed to run her own post-production sound effects business, The Sync Tank. Her clients include NBC Universal Studios and Warner Brothers, and thanks to her hard work, passion, and creativity, she was awarded an Emmy for her work as a Foley Artist last year. That work ehtic and business acumen are traits she'll carry on to the Calabasas City Council.

Jody also has experience representing the people of Calabasas through her service on the Environmental Standards Committee, as well as the County Redistricting Hearings. She has been a voice for the people during the discussions on city-wide issues such as the OWTS, building code amendments, the Water Park, the wireless issue, and more. While serving her term as president of the Old Topanga Homeowner's Association, she stood up for her friends and neighbors on matters that were important to her community.
