I was born and raised in a small town in Northern California. My work experiences for the past 27 years are in Fire Fighting, Emergency Medical Care, Mental Health Care, Real Estate, and 1 year of Paralegal studies. These jobs have taught me how to help others and how to address issues in our communities in a responsible and competent manner. During my time as a Realtor, I discovered that the majority of the people I met could not afford to buy a home. This led to my interest to run for a special election for a city council member seat to bring my voice to the local governing body. I am mindful of all of the challenges and current issues we must address. I am also committed to being a positive and helpful leader representing Californians.
