Biography

I have called Thousand Oaks District 5 home for the past 25 years. With over 20 years of experience as an award-winning small business owner, advising Aerospace government contractors and FORTUNE Future 50 tech companies, I bring a wealth of knowledge responsibly scaling organizations, expertise in developing full-cycle workflows and service based processes to the table. I believe it’s time to bring my skills and dedication to the City Council to serve our community better. My passion for community service led me to transition from the corporate sector to roles that directly impact Thousand Oaks. As a parent, nonprofit board member, small business owner, and community leader, I am deeply invested in the future of our city and our quality of life. My priorities promote livability, community communication and safer neighborhoods. I will encourage more community resource communications, improve public & private partnerships while supporting our city’s continued commitment to protecting our open spaces, small tow esthetic and pursuit of environmentally sound development. Together, we can make Thousand Oaks an even better place to live, work, and thrive. I am ready to lead with transparency, collaboration, and conviction to ensure a bright future for all residents.
