Occupation: Business Manager, Nurse/City Council Member

Education & Qualifications:

When I was elected to the Redwood City Council in 1994, my priorities were:

Improving the quality of life in Redwood City neighborhoods. Developing a
stronger economic base using a team approach. Encouraging development of
quality housing & community services.

Over the past 3 years, my efforts have included:

Working with the Pride & Beautification Committee and 100's of volunteers to
clean our schools, parks, creeks & marina; planting trees and eliminating trash
& graffiti. 

Working with teams of City officials & neighborhood groups to plan, finance &
develop a community center, school and fire station in Redwood Shores. 

Promoting a City-Business-Community team to re-energize Downtown including the
construction of the Main-Middlefield retail/housing project & the development
of the UC Berkeley Extension Campus. 

Working in partnership with the Redwood City School District and the Redwood
City/San Mateo County Chamber to upgrade our schools' libraries and computer
centers.

I am proud of these improvements...But there is still more to do. 

I will continue meeting with our residents, improving public safety & the
quality of life in Redwood City while overseeing a strict budget requiring
assessment of priorities and maximization of efficiency.

Redwood City Improvements are a Work in Progress. 
My desire is to continue that work.
