As a founding member of the original Community Council in Valley Glen, I have worked over twenty years in making the Valley Glen community the best in the San Fernando Valley. As the neighborhood has grown and evolved, I want to continue to make this a welcoming community for new families, businesses and surrounding neighbors. Together, with the Greater Valley Glen Council, we CAN make this community the best in the Valley.

New resident and proud Valley Glen homeowner; you may have seen me walking with our adorable dog, Merlot. Active in HOA, now want to serve our greater community. Recently moved to area after 4 years in LA. As a 14 year SoCal resident I bring a unique perspective: active in multiple communities from San Diego to Hollywood, from environment to LGBT. Louisiana native, went to LSU then earned my MBA from San Diego State University. I lead a national social marketing team implementing behavior change campaigns. Experience working at the intersection of public health and communications has made me an adept listener and strategist to build partnerships across public and private stakeholders to apply new solutions to hard problems. I’ve helped build award winning brands and given talks at conferences like American Public Health Assoc., World Social Marketing, and National Conference on Health Communications. I’m excited to put these skills to work for our residents and community stakeholders.

I want to put my political science degree to work and apply my experience in both the legal and political fields and get to work for our community. My first priority is to bring the resources we need to Greater Valley Glen and to be a voice for our community. I'm a Fordham University graduate and I have an avid interest in government. When I moved from New York to California, I spent considerable time working for Congresswoman Sanchez in Orange County, where I gained valuable insight into working with Federal, State, and local governments on behalf of everyone we represent. Considerable resources are being spent around and near us, and some of those funds need to come our way to address our own local needs and concerns. I want to build Relationships with the surrounding Neighborhood Councils so that together we can help address getting pedestrian crosswalks, bike lanes, a stronger law enforcement presence, as well as green energy initiatives.
